Franklin Avenue
Daylight streaming
On my face
Prognosis looking grim
Sudden case of paralysis
Just can't move my limbs

Thunder crashing
Lightning flashing
Raindrops in my hair
But it's not clearing up
Better stay in bed

Waiting for that sinking feeling
It's all that keeps me together
And I'm so scared to let it unwind
Waiting for that same old feeling

You're the straight man
I'm the punch line
Life is just a joke
But look who's laughing now
Guess I'll laugh until I choke
Cars crashing
Tires smashing
Franklin Avenue
Waiting for the dramatic save
Nothing else to do

Waiting for that sinking feeling
It's all that keeps me together
And I'm so scared to let it unwind
Waiting for that same old feeling

And nobody tells me what to do
Nobody tells me what to do
Nobody tells me what to do

Waiting for that sinking feeling
It's all that keeps me together
And I'm so scared to let it unwind
Waiting for that same old feeling
