Sarah crawls up on her pedestal
made of marble at the top
the foundation styrofoam
and drinks alone
with all the birds and morning air
she's a crier, i'm a liar
we're a pair

who knows how long she'll have to wait
to take her time, to find that place
who knows how long she'll have to wait there

shake it off
why drag the rest of us around
it's a terrible addiction of the brain
I drag these knuckles back and forth
against these bars and sing la da da
but no one cares to ask my name

who knows how long I'll have to wait
to take my time, to find that place
who knows how long I'll have to wait and

focus on what makes me tick
and break the shell that came with it

Sarah falls for the first time in years
the whole crowd gathers round and carries on
down below she picks up pieces desperately
and doesn't see the crowd's disbelief
she's a fighter, I'm a writer
we're a team

who knows how long we'll have to wait
to take our time, to find that place
who knows how long we'll have to wait and

focus on what makes us tick
and break the shell that came with it
