waiting waiting
you’ll think i’m crazy
i’ve been fading
but they can save me
waiting waiting
i know i’m not okay
i know i’m not okay
i know i’m not okay
waiting waiting
you’ll think i’m crazy
i’ve been fading
but they can save me you
you, look at what i want
look at where it’s at
see the difference
mhm
been digging tunnels and evading your texts
i never wanted anything other than everybody talking to pause and really just do what they said
(yeah!)
but they tell me i should give it a rest
hm
wish i could say to keep it i never needed it but i’ll probably never let it go can’t achieve it without it
it was seeming ideal
but it’s really re-inventing the wheel
that isn’t worth it but i’m waiting for deals yuh
you tell me how it’s a marathon and my feeling impatient is only meaning that i wasn’t cut out
yeah well the feeling is fueling me fully moving i’ll find it cuz even if it’s in ruins i’ll dig down
‘ would you believe in what you can’t see?
‘ or could you look and see what i mean?
cuz i can tell when it’s flaking and still be able to make it i promise you that I will get you in my high beams
so the aching won’t stop
is this how a dream rots?
is this how we “move on?”
will i sit on my stoop
and act confused
act as if i saw passed the fruit
act as if i tried hard to win
when i know the truth?
i know the truth
saw the key, didn’t make the move
i know the truth
paused to read, didn’t share the news
i know the truth
i was never really in it if i kept my cool
i was never really in it if i wasn’t ever willing
to be tested too
i prefer to lose
so bounce around inside this bubble all you want but know the limits keep you calm
and calm will kill a dream and kill the means to see that safety ain’t the path you want
calm will find its way inside your heart to keep you still because it made your plot
and calm can keep the peace but you will see that afterwards you will be gone
waiting waiting
you’ll think i’m crazy
i’ve been fading
but they can save me
waiting waiting
i know i’m not okay
i know i’m not okay
i know i’m not okay
waiting waiting
you’ll think i’m crazy
i’ve been fading
but they can save me
you, look at what i want
look at where it’s at
see the difference
