Lyrics Standby - Lions Lions

Standby

Standby, we all live on standby
We all hold out torches waiting for flame
I call it like I see it, I see a scared kid
Following their every word, now just to feel like the dirt under his nails is
worth the pain
Let me explain
You see the joke is that no matter how much you bleed
For what you’re trying to say
There’s always someone, somewhere
Living out the life you’ve always worked for
Who never will appreciate the claim
Standby, we all live on standby
We all hold out torches waiting for flame
Reach for anything that holds you
Keeps you standing up and knows you by name
I failed to mention all their terms, their dotted lines, their iron nerves
But who are we to state our case
It’s all a matter of life and death by irrelevance
You see the joke is that no matter how much you bleed
For what you’re trying to say
There’s always someone, somewhere
Living out the life you’ve always worked for
Who never will appreciate the claim
Standby, we all live on standby
We all hold out torches waiting for flame
Reach for anything that holds you
Keeps you standing up and knows you by name
I digress, I know it’s what you want
To be perceived as an idol, a walking tribute to all those lost
Capture feelings in vignettes and shout them from rooftops
They will smile as you struggle, and lose you in their thoughts
Standby, we all live on standby
We all hold out torches waiting for flame
Reach for anything that holds you
Keeps you standing up and knows you by name
Standby, we all live on standby
We all hold out torches waiting for flame
Reach for anything that holds you
Keeps you standing up and knows you by name
