Sitting, wishing I wasn’t staring out of these tinted windows

Wasting away in the process, taking inches to progress

Slowly creeping driving myself out of my mind taking inches to progress

As the busses squeeze on by, throwing dirt into the sky

But I just can’t help thinking about all of this we’re doing

Getting older, just going nowhere

Holiday might as well just stay home and watch the sky.

Because the clouds are a better view than a million tail lights.

And I understand that to be a man we must everyday improve.

But how can we escalate when we just can seem to move.

Another day the skies a gray a downpour explodes.

I’m on the road yet I’ll need a boat my car won’t float.

Do you know what I mean?

Inching to progress in my brand new submarine

But I just can’t help thinking with a sinking feeling

As the water taps my shoulder; getting older, going nowhere

But I know there’s something waiting for me

And it’s not due to lack of wanting to care

Yes I know there is something better than this waiting for me…

…if I can only get there.
