"Are We the Waiting" Song Lyrics by Green Day

Starry nights, city lights coming down over me
Sky scrapers and stargazers in my head

I thought adolescence would last forever—oh if only it had.
I thought friends could be forever, but maybe it's best that they weren't.
Now the days are too long and the nights blur into empty moments that used to last forever.

Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting unknown?

I feel that age is fast approaching.
Death blooms like a flower.

This dirty town, it's burning down in my dreams
Lost and found, city bound in my dreams

I must go. I am here no longer, though my body waivers.
Stagnant legs and sleepy gazing will be my demise...
I gaze into dreams, my sleepy mind keeps me waiting—keeps me wanting.
What is left of here? What has been lost?

And screaming
My mind is screaming.

Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting?
And screaming
Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting?

Good will come if only I am patient.
But if I stay too long—
I have wasted, I am wasting away.

Forget-me-nots and second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails—fairy tales in my mind

The irony is I knew all along that I would lose. That the promises made were empty.
Promises always are.
But I never thought I would end up lonely.
That no one would replace the nostalgia that feeds my regret.

Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting unknown?

Lives so short waste away with the length of time.

The rage and love—story of my life
the jesus of suburbia is a lie

I could be lost in this land of demons, but I can create direction.
If only I could try—but trying harder is a liar's game.
Only fools subside in difference. Growing means knowing.
Growing means changing everything.

And screaming

My mind is reeling.

Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting?
And screaming
Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting unknown?

I can't.
I can't do it.
I won't I won't I won't.
Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting?
And screaming
Are we, we are? Are we, we are the waiting unknown?


I'll wait for no one.
