He's got a new addiction for every day and night
He knows everything about this world but he don't know wrong from right
Such a clever kid at heart but his life became a strain

Well school wasn't the place for him so his parents sent him away
Ive been waiting, waiting for you
Ive been waiting, waiting for you to come alive.


So close yet so far but I know that you're gonna make it
He's a tower of playing cards and I know that times gonna break him.


Word on the street says he's not coming back
Yeah he didn't even make the trial

His parents still live in that house but I ain't seen him in awhile
I wonder whats in the years to come, maybe one day he'll get a job
And he'll come back in a Jaguar and prove everybody wrong

Ive been waiting, waiting for you
Ive been waiting, waiting for you to come alive.


So close yet so far but I know that you're gonna make it
He's a tower of playing cards and I know that times gonna break him.


So break down the walls,
Cuz' home is where your heart belongs.
Even if you fall, we'll i'll pick you up and we'll carry on.


So close yet so far but I know that you're gonna make it
He's a tower of playing cards and I know that times gonna break him.
