lyrics

When you're walking down the road
And the signs disappear
You gotta rely on instinct
To know your destination's near
But the sun can't be your compass
In the middle of the night
Or when the current overtakes you
Cause you're putting up a fight

Staring through the screen watching your life waste away
Your alarm's going off and it's the middle of the day
You're out sleepwalking with nowhere to go
So you just wait, you just wait til it's time to go home.

When you're finishing the puzzle
And you lost the final piece
But you convince yourself it's good enough
That "almost" is "complete"
Cause every single hamburger
At McDonald's is the same
And the party will still burn out
Whether or not you came

Thank you for your patronage, please return your tray
Your alarm's going off and it's the middle of the day
You're out sleepwalking with nowhere to go
So you just wait, you just wait til it's time to go home.

Time to go home, time to go home, time to go home.

When you think you're getting close
To where you oughtta be
And there's light in the cracks
Of the static monotony
And you feel the breeze of freedom
Come slipping through the seams
And there's music in your sorrow
And there's color in your dreams

Then the back of your mind starts aching cause the piper needs his pay
Your alarm's going off and it's the middle of the day.
You're out sleepwalking with nowhere to go
And you can barely keep your guard up to ward off the blows
Of the headline contradictions that constantly show
That you'll die getting high but you can't live being low
In the cold, shameful spotlight of your cellular phone
So you just wait, you just wait til it's time to go home.
