Common Ground

Last family gather
 We both got drowned out
 Over-under age
 A moment's all we got to be now
 So why am I waiting?
 This time I'd rather
 We both got thrown out
 Before it passed the fame
 This motion's all we got to be now
 But I couldn't take it
 Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
 Thinking 'bout waiting
 Oh, time I wish we'd taken
 It's on my mind to see you again
 Only I'm leaving again
 ♪
 Last time that I looked to you
 With no doubts
 All those underrated days
 That I remembered so well
 Why are they fading?
 Try to say something
 But I don't know how
 All the ways you saved me
 You might never get to know now
 'Cause I couldn't say it
 (Yeah)
 Am I over the hill or living under a rock?
 Last chance, moving slow
 But I know what I got
 Reminiscing that I'm wishing
 I knew what I was missing
 If I listen I can dance to the rhythm I got
 Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
 Thinking 'bout waiting
 Oh, time I wish we'd taken
 And it's on my mind to see you again
 Only I'm leaving again
 I felt them turn their backs on you
 And lose the time to listen, oh oh
 Even with what you've been through
 And all that I've been given, oh no
 And you could probably find Jesus
 Hidden in a crossword
 Make him stay for his supper
 I remember when you heard your mother's voice
 Twenty years after
 Oh, I said, who knew it all
 Oh, still gives
 Every year's after
 ♪
 Passed on the look
 Like you knew what I felt
 Overthought the fate
 Chasing all I hope to be now
 So why am I waiting?
 I couldn't take it
 Why am I waiting, waiting, waiting?
 I'm underrated and I'm faded
 Trying to make me a plan
 But I created all the weight
 Of trying to make me a man
 It's complicated in the way
 I'm always feeling deflated
 I've waited patiently
 I've hated wasting youthful mistakes
 So, shit, don't act like that
 Don't pack that crap
 Don't call me incapable
 Don't lack in facts
 I might retract myself from the kids' table
 I'm done with all this chasing
 And facing cooperation
 I'm locked inside the basement
 I'm not trying to be complacent
 Am I over the hill or living under a rock?
 Last chance, moving slow
 But I know what I got
 Reminiscing that I'm wishing
 I knew what I was missing
 If I listen I can dance to the rhythm I got
 Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
 Thinking 'bout waiting
 Oh, time I wish we'd taken
 It's on my mind to see you again
 Wanna see again
 Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
 Thinking 'bout waiting
 Oh, time I wish we'd taken
 It's on my mind to see you again
 I won't be again
