Watching From the Wings is his jealousy, tight and controlled, as another man's hands find her waist on the dance floor. He smiles for the crowd and burns quietly behind the mic — a song about wanting something you haven't earned the nerve to claim yet. Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I'm up here with a crowd that loves me
Every hand clapping,
every boot in time
But my eyes keep dropping down to the floor
Where his hands are on a girl that should be mine
[Verse 2]
He ain't wrong for asking,
ain't done a thing
It's me that's been too slow to claim
I smile for the room,
I play the part
But jealousy's got no shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Focus, Man,
that's what I keep telling myself
Just a song, just a dance, nothing right
But my hands are tight on these strings tonight
Like they're holding onto something tight
[Chorus]
I'm watching from the wings
While another man gets his turn
Playing the songs that get her spinning
While inside I quietly burn
Smile for the crowd,
keep the rhythm going
Nobody has to know
I'm watching from the wings
And I'm dying to let go
[Verse 3]
She laughs like she don't have a care
Dips low then comes back up again
And I'm supposed to just play my part
Like it don't cut me deep within
[Chorus]
I'm watching from the wings
While another man gets his turn
Playing the songs that get her spinning
While inside I quietly burn
Smile for the crowd,
keep the rhythm going
Nobody has to know
I'm watching from the wings
And I'm dying to let go
[Bridge]
My buddy keeps giving me that look
Says "you good, boss,"
but I ain't fine
One of these nights
I'm gonna walk down there
And take back what's already mine
[Final Chorus - bigger, more resolved]
No more watching from the wings
No more letting my turn pass by
Next song I play,
I'm looking right at her
And I ain't gonna look away this time
[Outro]
No more wings for me...
No more standing by.
