Waving Through A Window Song Lyrics by Ben Platt and Original Broadway Cast of Dear Evan Hansen
I’ve learned to slam on the brakeBefore I even turn the keyBefore I make the mistakeBefore I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stareNo slipping up if you slip awaySo I got nothing to shareNo, I got nothing to say
Step out, step out of the sunIf you keep getting burnedStep out, step out of the sunBecause you’ve learned, because you’ve learned
On the outside, always looking inWill I ever be more than I’ve always been?‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glassI’m waving through a windowI try to speak, but nobody can hearSo I wait around for an answer to appearWhile I’m watch, watch, watching people passI’m waving through a window, ohCan anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?
We start with stars in our eyesWe start believing that we belongBut every sun doesn’t riseAnd no one tells you where you went wrong
Step out, step out of the sunIf you keep getting burnedStep out, step out of the sunBecause you’ve learned, because you’ve learned
On the outside, always looking inWill I ever be more than I’ve always been?‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glassWaving through a windowI try to speak, but nobody can hearSo I wait around for an answer to appearWhile I’m watch, watch, watching people passWaving through a window, ohCan anybody see, is anybody waving?
When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody aroundDo you ever really crash, or even make a sound?When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody aroundDo you ever really crash, or even make a sound?When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody aroundDo you ever really crash, or even make a sound?When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody aroundDo you ever really crash, or even make a sound?Did I even make a sound?Did I even make a sound?It’s like I never made a soundWill I ever make a sound?
On the outside, always looking inWill I ever be more than I’ve always been?‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glassWaving through a windowI try to speak, but nobody can hearSo I wait around for an answer to appearWhile I’m watch, watch, watching people passWaving through a window, ohCan anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh)
Is anybody waving?Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
