You're waiting for someone   But someone doesn't show   You light a cigarette   You think she should have let you know      You don't recognize a sole   You sipp your beer and watch the wall   But then the curtains rise   And suddenly you find you fall      You're never lonely when the band plays   When the first snow hits your spine   And you're washed over by the sound waves   You're not alone when you're alive      And then you're on the street   You breath the midnight air   You light a cigarette   You're far away and yet you're there      Though someone never came   You tremble and you spark   It feels a bit like love   It's keeping you above the dark      You're never lonely when the band plays   When the first snow hits your spine   And you're washed over by the sound waves   You're not alone when you're alive      Like you I'm aching to belong   And while we're waiting here's a song   A hope it helps us when we're going home      You're never lonely when the band plays   When the first snow hits your spine   And you're washed over by the sound waves   You're not alone when you're alive      You're never lonely when the band plays   Playing straight into your mind   And then you know you're on the right way   You're not alone when you're alive
