They call it the wings but I've never been closer to the ground
I used to write songs for you but now I just write them down
I used to wait in the wings but I don' think that I can
You want me to be part of it but I'm not your biggest fan
Can you see me on the edge?
I can't see you from the edge
Yes, out of the corner of my eye
Yes, you're in the line of fire
But I have been waiting in the wings
I have been waiting in the wings
I have been anxious and insane
I am just waiting in the wings
You're being ignited by the brightness of the sun
Confusing guidance with what can burn you up
While I waited patiently from the confines of the wings
Your newest fixation kindly tore you limb from limb
Yes, yes, yes, out of the corner of my eye
Yes, yes, yes, you're the thorn in my side
But I have been waiting in the wings
I have been waiting in the wings
I have been anxious and insane
I am just waiting in the wings
