Keen to tell ourselves to keep on moving
We carried all that parents feed their children
But giving up so much for what you're given
Maybe it's time to give in and start living
Your mother said your hair would be your beauty
And to rescue drowning men runs in your family
But not the one who sits while you were dancing
When 'All My Friends' is playing at the party
All these things they'll be waiting
All these dreams that we're living for
All these things they'll be waiting for you
All our lives simply hanging on
And if the best we have to hope for is distraction
Then glimmering in red the dancefloor beckons
With boys who sing their songs in hope you'd listen
And if it hurts we know we'd not choose different
All these things they'll be waiting
All these dreams that we're living for
And all these things you know they'll be waiting for you
All our lives simply hanging on
