Living Room Concerts: WICKED's Lindsay Pearce Sings 'Waving Through a Window'

Hi guys, I hope you're all doing well during this quarantine

Basically, this song is an ode to the girl that lives on the third floor of the brownstone

across the street from me, who's always cleaning her windows. And it's also to the man on the sixth floor, fifth floor, one of the top floors

um he wore a lime green shirt two days ago and I waved at him um like I legitimately waved at him

and I thought he was waving at me and I realized that he couldn't see me through my tinted windows

um so this song is for them I learned to slam on the brake before I even turn the key Before I make the mistake before I leave with the worst of me give them no reason to stare

No slipping up if you slip away. So I got nothing to share. No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun if you keep getting lit

Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you learned

On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been

Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass I'm waving through a window

I try to speak, but nobody can hear So I wait around for an answer to appear

While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass I'm waving through the window

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me

We start with stars in our eyes We start believing that we belong But every sun doesn rise No one tells you where you went wrong Step out step out of the sun if you keep getting burned

Step out, step out of the sun Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in Will I ever be more than I've always been

Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass I'm waving through a window

I try to speak but nobody can hear Will I wait around for an answer to appear

while I'm watch, watch, watching people pass. I'm waving through a window

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving? When you're falling in a forest

and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash or even make a sound

When you're falling in a forest, there's nobody around. Do you ever really crash or even make a sound

When you're falling in a forest and then there nobody around Do you ever really crash or even make a sound When you fall in a forest and there nobody around do you ever really crash or even make a sound When you falling in a forest and there nobody around do 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 make a sound

Will I ever make a sound? Oh, me, I die, always looking in

Will I ever be more than I've always been? Because I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass

I'm waving through a window. I try to speak, but nobody can hear

So I wait around for an answer to appear. While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass

I'm waving through a window. Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me

Is anybody waving? waving, waving, waving, whoa, whoa. My upstairs neighbor hates me

That's gonna have to be the take because there's no way I can do that twice without him banging on my ceiling
