lyrics

Waiting for You

You built those treasures up to store away
In favor of what seemed the best
But now they’re rusted and they’re lonely
Hiding somewhere in your chest
And you would never utter of it
Because you’re selfless to the core
But all that redness in your eyes
Tells what you’re really longing for

And oh, you know it’s time to go (don’t you know the time has come)
The lights here don’t burn bright enough for the darkness in your soul
And well, now while you’re waiting round (don’t get caught waiting around)
There’s a jungle out there waiting just for you

And so you put it all on hold
While the tree grows taller from the ground
But late at night you know you hear them
You hear those dreams still a-crying out
And you still work the day to day
And the accolades you’ve begun to win
But all you ever really wanted
Was to be a starving artist who was struggling to break in

(chorus)

Oh, do you feel it now
Feel it burn in you now, a hole
Burned in you now, a hole
Well fill it up now, fill it up til it’s gone away
No more leave it to another day
Gotta find another way, not idly by, it’s time to say
Where you are is who you are
While the flame burns on, don’t wait too long

(chorus)
