Waltz Lyrics
i can see you with your brothers
and your homes have been blessed
but you walk in a rubble
you walk in a mess
looking for trouble
there’s a fox in the nest
kick up your heels on the double
put the mocking to rest
i am a fire if you hesitate
bang bang hurry up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who will never recognize his luck
i am a fire if you hesitate
tie your laces up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who is never gonna come unstuck
what you say undercover
in the belly of the beast
blaze a trail at their pace
jump up for the peak
as the words pile up
like an accident
its just semantics
i am a fire if you hesitate
bang bang hurry up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who will never recognize his luck
i am a fire if you hesitate
tie your laces up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who is never gonna come unstuck
this is how he sees it
this is how he works
this is how he functions
i know why it hurts
i can see him heaving
“watch me take a word and turn it into magic”
and your homes have been blessed
but you walk in a rubble
you walk in a mess
looking for trouble
there’s a fox in the nest
kick up your heels on the double
put the mocking to rest
i am a fire if you hesitate
bang bang hurry up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who will never recognize his luck
i am a fire if you hesitate
tie your laces up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who is never gonna come unstuck
what you say undercover
in the belly of the beast
blaze a trail at their pace
jump up for the peak
as the words pile up
like an accident
its just semantics
i am a fire if you hesitate
bang bang hurry up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who will never recognize his luck
i am a fire if you hesitate
tie your laces up
but you watch with the eyes
in the jaws of a boy
who is never gonna come unstuck
this is how he sees it
this is how he works
this is how he functions
i know why it hurts
i can see him heaving
“watch me take a word and turn it into magic”

From the band:
Random things inspire me to make music. I was really moved by this film I saw a couple years back. I went straight to my laptop and bashed out a demo titled ‘Waltz.’ Lyrically, I was just painting a picture of what I’d seen. I thought it sounded great but there was no way that TNAF would be singing about anything political. So it just sat on my computer for a year or so. I was waiting for an angle. I ended up drawing on all kinds of related negative experiences … with all kinds of nasty people. That was the catalyst. This song is for them. – Thom
Hey Thom, thanks, is it also about unrequited love? Someone who doesn't see you.
