lyrics

Hand on my chin
I listen to the rain
I’m wondering
What you’re doing today
I wonder
I’m hoping
Holding on to what I’m feeling
Tell the silence
Be what you will
Told me to stay forever
How can you perceive any doubt
Not knowing how the ending turns out

I don’t wanna wait around for you
You could be the best lover that I knew
I’m alive I buzz around the town
Get happy when I’m down
Get happy when I’m down

Nights are longer but
Be what you want
Be that you don’t go under
How can you decide any cloud
The rain is getting stronger and loud

I don’t wanna wait around for you
You could be the best lover that I knew
I’m alive I buzz around the town
Get happy when I’m down
Get happy when I’m down

I never thought that I could be
So alone and keep a smile
But just now I feel so happy this way

Nights are longer but
Be what you want
Be that you don’t go under
How can you receive any love?
I hold you but it’s never enough
I hold you but it’s never enough

I don’t wanna wait around for you
You could be the best lover that I knew
I’m alive I buzz around the town
Get happy when I’m down
Get happy when I’m down

I don’t wanna wait around for you
You could be the best lover that I knew
I’m alive I buzz around the town
Get happy when I’m down
Get happy when I’m down
