Rise Against - Torches lyrics

[Rise Against - Torches lyrics]

On clearer days
I can see the lights from my bedroom door
On windy nights I can smell the lake as
It drifts to me from the shore
The traffic lights silently change a
Thousand times a day but, I'm still waiting
And I'm still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun
Would we ever wake up
And if I turned back all these clocks
Would that be time enough

I can't remember exactly when
This longing began
But, I know it wasn't before the
Day you touched my hand
Laugh and shout in blissful daze
And numbers are exchanged
But, I'm still waiting and I'm still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun
Would we ever wake up
And if I turned back all these clocks
Would that be time enough

So put your hands where I can see them
And shut your mouth I know who you are
In a world void of feeling or heart I know
That we are the torches in the dark
Let's break this down let's make this count
Let's leave this one-horse town
No better time than now
Let's break this down let's make this count
Let's leave this one-horse town
No better time than now

The angels dance like feathers float
They're here to see and to be seen
The clock strikes two
The music slows and each one
Slowly dons their wings
Once outside they all pair off and
Hand in hand they leave
But, I'm still waiting and I'm still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun
Would we ever wake up
And if I turned back all these clocks
Would that be time enough

Will we ever wake up?
