lyrics

WAITING

You saw the signs in sunsets, walked too many miles.
You saw the glory in the freedom of the skies.
It wasn't anywhere you thought you found the end,
It's only in the running that you could still pretend.

And I'm waiting in a polaroid of smiles and open skies,
It doesn't show the fear and doubt behind our eyes.
I'm still waiting in a prison cell of promises and lies,
You meant the world and it went by and by and by.

I saw the beauty in a soul so lost and free,
I saw the way you fell through life's eternity,
And when you took my hand I'd follow to the end,
But you were running and the dream was just pretend.

And I'm waiting in a polaroid of smiles and open skies,
It doesn't show the fear and doubt behind our eyes.
I'm still waiting in a prison cell of promises and lies,
You meant the world and it went by and by and by.

When you're flying you're just falling nowhere,
'Cause you're dying as you're reaching for somewhere,
Blinded by the light of the sun, stolen by its glimmering gold,
Lost in empty puzzles of love, searching for the stories untold.
You couldn't bear to be sold,
Said you wouldn't be told,
I'd knew you'd never grow old.

Kaleidoscopic eyes and mirrors in your mind,
You tried to look for things I knew you'd never find.
I wished so many times you'd see it all in me,
But in the stillness you're still longing to be free.

And I'm waiting in a polaroid of smiles and open skies,
It doesn't show the fear and doubt behind our eyes.
I'm still waiting in a prison cell of promises and lies,
You meant the world and it went by and by and by.

Don't walk away from me, you always will,
Don't let the sun go down on the empty thrills.
Don't walk away from me, you always will.
