Did you say what you wanted said? And now you're just putting the days to bed Young actors want to play and play And you'll play, but you're working Call applicants and stole cornering them We're all waiting for the big day If you feel crazy that you're still crazy It hasn't happened for a few days Well just wait In hindsight you're gonna wish you were here You keep scratching at the old paint But the wood is still there And the room is still there If you're trying to feel the wind Well that's a window you're pressed against You never told me your secrets So I guess they stayed safe with me Tall orders from such small shoulders And invitations on blue paper But I'm bailing water and bailing water 'Cause I like the shape of the boat You asked me and I told you And you asked me and I told you and I told you In hindsight you're gonna wish you were here You keep scratching at the old paint But the wood is still there And the room is still there If you're my anchor then I'm throwing you over the side Before I have the time to say I never wanted anyone this way But I'm smoking cigarettes when no one else does And if I hold you now will I be holding a snowball When the season changes and I'm craving the sun? Are you still training for the big race By hoping the runners will die? Churning the words of your disgrace But it's how you are when you're down that counts And you know we're a good thing It's been a long time since you said Put down your camera and let me ask you Is this new move just to keep moving? In hindsight you're gonna wish you were here You keep scratching at the old paint But the wood is still there And the room is still there If I kiss you now like sun streaming in a tavern's door Would you wonder what I'm kissing you for?
