Lyrics Waiting for the Joy - The Staves

I've been asleep for a week
And I don't know where I've been
I know I should, if I could I'd be good
And I'd eat my greens
Up all night
Locking ourselves inside

Everybody's singing all these songs I love
Waiting for the joy to come
But it never does
I'm pushing buttons, keeping on the lights
Even doing nothing, I'm not quite doing it right
Shut the front door
Tell me what to do and what to do if I
Everybody's singing all these songs I love
Waiting for the joy to come
But it never does
But it never does

Sitting on oceans and oceans of time
And my hair got long
Meant to reply to your message, but now I don't feel too strong
Sink like a stone
Sorry I don't answer the phone

Everybody's singing all these songs I love
Waiting for the joy to come
But it never does
I'm pushing buttons, keeping on the lights
Even doing nothing, I'm not quite doing it right
Shut the front door
Tell me what to do and what to do if I
Everybody's singing all these songs I love
Give me one more
A-One, two, three, four

Dear God, how's it going hey
Dear God, is there nothing left to say

Thinking about getting up is a drought
And I need a drink
Everybody's singing all these songs I love
Waiting for the joy to come
But it never does
I'm pushing buttons, keeping on the lights
Even doing nothing, I'm not quite doing it right
All the songs I love
Waiting for the joy to come
But it never does
I'm pushing buttons, keeping on the lights
Even doing nothing, I'm not quite doing it right
Shut the front door
Tell me what to do and what to do if I
Everybody's singing all these songs I love
Waiting for the joy to come
But it never does
