lyrics

Now you're in the front row
Now you're all alone
Now you're taking photographs for them again
Now you're heading home
With all that sound and all that anger
Still singing, pounding in your head
As you collapse to slumber in the ghosts
Of past advantages, now dead

You can barely sleep at all
Dreaming of the songs that you would write
If you could only care
And dreaming of the words that you would shout
If there was anyone to shout to out there
Like somebody in the front row
Who's taking photos of their own
Now you're heading home
Now you're in the front row

For now there's just an inkling
A little logo that you draw
Something to help you stay up all night, all night
Something that's hardly there at all
But it makes pictures in your head
Now all the words just take their sweet time
To say something that you believe in
Well, that's such an uphill climb
Instead you're standing in the front row
And so jealous of the lights again

Although tonight you can't remember
Why you started down that slide
For now you're on the outside
Choking on the words that you could shout
If there was anyone to dream about at all
Like somebody in the front row
Who's got an inkling of their own
Now they're heading home
Now you're in the front row
