Waiting

Original

I've been waiting for the hurting to stop.

I've been waiting for the punch line to drop.

Anytime I hear the music we played,

I dissolve into a puddle of rain.

I've been playing down the way that I feel.

I've been hoping that I don't make it real.

I've been waiting at the edge of a dream to jump and fly but found my beautiful wings.

Been waiting for the right time to come, to put the best dress back on, to catch a favorite song, and to find my way home to your love.

I've been hovering around like a ghost in all the places gone away, left unspoken.

I've been playing down in penny arcades, celebrating what I beg, when

I've paid.

I've been following the river back home.

I keep finding out I'm excellent prone.

I was gonna write a gratitude list, just gotta work out my resentment to it.

And I'm thinking, 'cause it gets to me, perhaps there's nowhere else that I will ever be.

I'm wondering, yeah, it seems to me that there's nowhere else that I would rather be.

And if I could be anywhere,

I'm right here by your side.

If there was another now, another place and time.

If I could be anywhere, I'm right here by your side.

I keep waiting for the hurting to stop.

I've been waiting for the punch line to drop.

I've been waiting 'til forever had come.

Before I knew it, it had already come and gone.

I've been waiting on a beautiful dream, forgiving everyone that I've ever been.

And I've been playing down in penny arcades.

I went and found a way to rise up instead.

Waiting for the right time to come.

I put the best dress back on.

I caught a favorite song and I danced my way home to your love.

Oh, I found my way home to your love.

And if I could be anywhere, I'm right here by your side.

If there was another now, another place and time.

If I could be anywhere, I'm right here by your side.

I've been waiting.

I've been waiting. I've been waiting.

I've been waiting.
