This is the Countdown

Are you getting tired?
I think we've gone and lost the fire
But I don't want to fight anymore
I've had enough of this town
I can see the signs and I can read between the lines
But I don't know what we were fighting for
I'm just trying to break out

I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh,
Tonight this one last try goes on and on and on
I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh,
Tonight this one last try goes on and on and on

You put your nets out but still you chose to do without
The only way to catch the butterfly was never waiting for the wings
And as seasons bring change, and as the seconds fade away, I still don't know why were holding on
But I'm still trying to break out

I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh,
Tonight this one last try goes on and on and on
I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh,
Tonight this one last try goes on and on and on

Should've known better than to listen
When the dreams and the words started falling down
Should've known I would've hit the ground running
But did you think that the night would possess us?
Take us over like the rain that's falling down?
Did you notice when the clock stopped running?
Running? Running? Running?

This is the countdown
You see our time is running out
I tried to stay above the waterline,
But never taking off the weights that keep us stuck here
In the comfort and in the fear
I'll never know what we were fighting for
But I'm still looking to break out

I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh,
Tonight this one last try goes on and on and on
I've been waiting for something
I've been sitting for too long
I've been waiting but oh,
Tonight this one last try goes on and on and on
