Waving Through A Window (From the “Dear Evan Hansen” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
[Verse 1]
I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slippin' up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Step out, step out of the sun if you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun because you've learned, because you've learned
[Chorus]
On the outside always lookin' in, will I
Ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tappin' on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak but nobody can hear so I
Wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watchin' people pass
I'm waving through a window
Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me?
[Verse 2]
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Step out, step out of the sun if you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun because you've learned, because you've learned
[Chorus]
On the outside always lookin' in, will I
Ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tappin' on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak but nobody can hear so I
Wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watchin' people pass
Waving through a window
Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me?
[Bridge]
When you're fallen in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're fallen in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're fallen in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're fallen in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound, will I ever make a sound?
[Chorus]
On the outside always lookin' in, will I
Ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tappin' on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak but nobody can hear so I
Wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watchin' people pass
Waving through a window
Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me?
[Outro]
Is anybody waving
Waving, waving, waving, woah
