waiting to see
The darkness of these starlit skies sets down upon my tired eyes And I’m waiting for the last uncertainty I’ve walked across these streets before and it always seemed outside your door The heaviness subsides so I can breath And I’m waiting to see you Waiting to be you Waiting to see If I can breathe you in, if you’ll let me out Of this caged up soul that I’ve created that surrounds me now If there is truth inside you or a demon in me If you ask me what I’m waiting for I’m waiting to see The hazy dawn and morning’s light awake and now you’re in my sight But I’m not sure if my feelings yet have grown The fear that plagues the heart of me dances in the part of me That faces everything I’ve ever known And I’m waiting to feel you Scared of the real you Waiting to see If I can breathe you in, if you’ll let me out Of this caged up soul that I’ve created that surrounds me now If there is truth inside you or a demon in me If you ask me what I’m waiting for I’m waiting to see Waiting to see what I might be if released from chains that bind me from within But I’m holding out from feelings of doubt that capture my release I’m waiting for peace So come in, oooh let me out Ask me what I’m waiting for I’m waiting to see.
