Drinking from the wishing well is dragging me down
Standing still so long my leaves are turning from green to brown
Seasons keep on burning and I struggle to make a sound
Drinking from the wishing well is dragging me down
I'm on the sidelines looking for something new
I'm on the sidelines searching for a clearer view
I'm on the sidelines looking for something new
Waiting for you to come through
Stealing from the giving tree is wearing me out
Compass keeps on turning, spinning backwards from north to south
Signal for a rescue but it's traveling by word of mouth
Stealing from the giving tree is wearing me out
I'm on the sidelines looking for something new
I'm on the sidelines searching for a clearer view
I'm on the sidelines looking for something new
Waiting for you to come through
