The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Raise your glass to everything
You've accomplished on your own
I promise it wouldn't mean a thing tomorrow
We're all just headed straight for the ocean floor
On a ship without any captain aboard
This time you can't save yourself
We're all (we're all) just wasting time
Standing still waiting for
Something to happen, something to happen
But I think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen
We have no idea what we're capable of
We have no idea what we're capable of
If only we would live in fear of knowing
Our own flesh and blood does not belong to us
We'd see everything a little different than before
Lose your pride
We're all (we're all) just wasting time
Standing still waiting for
Something to happen, something to happen
But I think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen
What you want is never what you need
Is never what you need
Be careful what you wish for
Lose your pride
If it's what you come back to
Lose your pride
Realize this was never about you
This time you can't save yourself
We're all (we're all) just wasting time
Standing still waiting for
Something to happen, something to happen
But I think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen
