I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
don't be so afraid of failing that you never try at all
Before I lead with the worst of me
but that's okay, because i love the worst of you

Give them no reason to stare
no, give them a reason
No slipping up if you slip away
someone will notice if you do
So I got nothing to share
you've got everything to share
No, I got nothing to say
but i know you and i know you speak volumes

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
but when the clouds move with you it's not that easy

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
you already were
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
break it
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
i'm listening
So I wait around for an answer to appear
i'm here
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
is it blurry?
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
the glass is a bit smudged

We start with stars in our eyes
don't let them burn out
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
because it is rising somewhere else, because someone else needs it more than you right now
And no one tells you where you went wrong
it's okay

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
but sometimes sunscreen doesn't do a thing

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
you're fine just as you are
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
i'm listening
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?
maybe you're not looking hard enough

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
i heard
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
i saw
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
i'm here
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
you could be silent and my eardrums would still be busted

On the outside, always looking in
someone is looking back at you
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
you're enough
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
i heard you
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
i'm listening
So I wait around for an answer to appear
i'm the answer
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
did you see me?
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh)
my arm is getting tired

Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
i've been waving for years.
