I'm in with the shadows, the light on your doorstep 
When the streets are cold and quiet
Can you hear me whisper, I don't think you can 
Out at the crosswalks, standing in traffic 
Not words or white noise, tune of the static 
Can you hear my footsteps, I know that you can't
Even when I'm in your sight, I'm out of line 
Maybe I'm vacant by design

Standing on the sidelines, feeling like the world's blind 
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time 
Always at the right place at the wrong time
Standing on the sidelines, waiting for the limelight 
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time 
Always at the right place at the wrong time

You say that I'm broken, a product defective 
A rhyme without reason, nobody gets it 
Cut out of the picture, a letter never sent 
Even when I'm in your sight, I'm out of line 
Maybe I'm vacant by design

My ambition is to have no ambition 
This conviction to live without conviction
A decision to be somebody that you'll never know

Standing on the sidelines, feeling like the world's blind 
Always at the right place at the wrong time 
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time 
I'm always at the right place at the wrong time

Standing on the sidelines, feeling like the world's blind 
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time 
Always at the right place at the wrong time
Standing on the sidelines, waiting for the limelight 
Staring through a blank face, maybe it's a bad time 
Always at the right place at the wrong time, 
right place at the wrong time
