Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nobody ever had a dream 'round here But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me [Verse 2] I've got this energy beneath my feet Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me I've got this sentimental heart that beats But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now [Chorus 1] Why do you waste my time? Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges So scared of what they'll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then [Break] Well, have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights? [Verse 3] I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades I took a bullet and I looked inside it Running through my veins, an American masquerade [Verse 4] I still remember grandma Dixie's wake I've never really known anybody to die before Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake My brother, he was born on the fourth of July and that's all [Chorus 2] So why do you waste my time? Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of letting me shine But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Every now and then [Outro] You know I see London, I see Sam's Town Holds my hand and let's my hair down Rolls that world right off my shoulder I see London, I see Sam's Town now
