Waiting Through The Afternoon

Contagious

Like the rhythm of a record through my mind

Played slowly

To emphasize the condition of a dead line

So hopeless

Let the record play on and on and on



Can I speak

Can I speak now

Without a voice to call my own

I'm left to walk these streets alone

Waiting through the afternoon

Again

And time can't get the best of me

Surely I will never be

Waiting through the afternoon

Again



Don't rush it

'Cause I'm not living my one life

Without danger

The stakes it takes making what we make (giving up to the page)

And so I'm left waiting

Let the record play on and on and on



Can I speak

Can I speak now

Without a voice to call my own

I'm left to walk these streets alone

Waiting through the afternoon

Again (the afternoon again)

And time can't get the best of me

Surely I will never be (will never be)

Waiting through the afternoon

Again



The afternoon again

I have to walk the streets alone (afternoon again)

Without a voice to call my own (the afternoon again, yeah)



Can I speak

Can I speak

Without a voice to call my own (without a voice)

I'm left to walk these streets alone

Waiting through the afternoon

Again (the afternoon again)

And time can't get the best of me

Surely I will never be (will never be)

Waiting through the afternoon

Again (waiting through the afternoon again)

Again
