Sound checks leak through venue doors Outside, fans are waiting for the show To start and guards to let them through And everything once they're inside seems so exciting too It's sparkling and blue Now everything under the shining lights Looks bright and new Illuminated youth Maybe you don't belong, you've gotta let go to pretend Maybe you don't belong there's something for you Maybe you need escape, there's somewhere to go Tomorrow's so far away Sold out pre-sale bar-code scans Rush the stage to see the bands They're screaming for another song from them So step back before you fall harder again Don't let them put up a wall inside your head Restless legs, restless days Bored with the boxes, always PA's are speaking loud Young ears frequent the sound They're allowed to bruise Picking what parts to use But where their feet are is a longer floor That lessens the chore It's bigger, a crowded view Put tomorrow away
