Lyrics

Sighing, staring
Lately I have stopped caring
I'm stuck in a rut
Waiting for something to come

I don't want to bore you being sappy
But I find it hard to be happy
I'm not out having fun
I'm waiting for something to come

Best case scenario
my job is totally pointless
I spend my life looking up
But there's nothing to see

Worst case scenario
Some giant death rock
Is flying through space
To destroy us

Either way
It's not a great outlook for me

So I'm getting listless
With the skylife
Something's missing from my life
My heart's going numb
Waiting for something to- (Gets hit by a car)

Something is coming
I maintain

All of this waiting
Is not in vain

I'll keep on waiting
'Til something comes
Or maybe I'm waiting for someone
Maybe I'm waiting for someone
Maybe I'm waiting for someone
