In line I long to be Inside your company Good things are coming I know they always have In time, a far away place that we can go I know we will someday On our own, until then I will lay inside Rest on a rising tide Don't be so selfless I'll wait on the same lines as you Can't be so helpless Good things are coming our way Good things are coming, I'll wait In line, I long to be Inside your company Maybe you know We'll go wherever you wanted to I'm through wishing I was somewhere else Drive along to escape Good things are coming Don't be so selfless I'll wait on the same lines as you Can't be so helpless Good things are coming our way Good things are coming, I'll wait Drive along to our escape
