Lyrics

Sidewalk

[Verse]

Come on, break it up

It's gone on long enough

What has it changed for you?

What has it changed for you?

The tubes tag along

The radar's got it wrong

What hasn't changed for you?

What hasn't changed for you?

[Chorus]

Can you wait for the sidewalk

Waiting for you?

Can you wait for the sidewalk?

Can it wait for you?

Can you wait for the sidewalk?

Can it wait for you?

Can you wait for the sidewalk?

Can it wait for you?

[Verse]

Come on, break it up

It's gone on long enough

What has it changed for you?

What has it changed for you?

The tubes tag along

The radar's got it wrong

What hasn't changed for you?

What hasn't changed for you?

[Chorus]

Can you wait for the sidewalk

Waiting for you?

Can you wait for the sidewalk?

Can it wait for you?

Can you wait for the sidewalk?

Can it wait for you?

Can you wait for the sidewalk?

Can it wait for you?
