lyrics

(inhale)

"A penny for your thoughts?"
Sometimes I let it ruminate.
When it boils over top,
I'm worse off than I thought.

"A penny for your thoughts?"
Sometimes I let it ruminate.
I'm shocked I get it off.
I'm worse off than I thought.

"How've you been?
Is that so?
My, oh my,
How you've sunk so low."

My stomach's tied in knots.
Sometimes I let it ruminate.
The culprit's all but caught:
I'm worse off than I thought.

(exhale)

Celebrate your smallest victories.
Take a step back, what do you see?
Bigger pictures often still me.
"Waiting Room Blues" count: 1,2,3...

A penny for your thoughts. (Celebrate your smallest victories)
Sometimes I let it ruminate. (Take a step back, what do you see?)
I'm shocked I get it off. (Bigger pictures often still me)
I'm worse off than I thought. ("Waiting Room Blues" count: 1,2,3...)

A penny for your thoughts. (Celebrate your smallest victories)
Sometimes I let it ruminate. (Take a step back, what do you see?)
"You're worse off than I thought." (Bigger pictures often still me)
I'm worse off than I thought. ("Waiting Room Blues" count: 1,2,3,4)
