(I’ve been… here a while.) I’ve been pacing in the afterglow City lights still humming from the night before I keep checking for a sign or a knock at the door Something small to tell me you’re still thinking of me You left footprints in the hallway dust Would’ve swept them but I liked the proof of us Now I sit here with the quiet and it’s loud enough To feel like you’re still breathing in the room I don’t know if I should call I don’t know if you’d pick up I’ve been holding onto something But I’m scared I’ll mess it up I’m waiting Even when the sunrise feels like time is fading Even when the echo of your voice is shaking Right here where you left me standing I’m waiting Yeah I’m waiting All the coffee cups have settled cold But I sip them just to feel the hours unfold I’m not asking for a promise or a story told Just the warmth of knowing you still care a little We weren’t perfect but we almost were We were reaching for a shape we could never confirm But the feeling in the moment was a thing that burned Now I’m keeping it alight alone I don’t know if I should call I don’t know if you’d respond But the silence in the spaces Keeps reminding me you’re gone I’m waiting Even when the sunrise feels like time is fading Even when the echo of your voice is shaking Right here where you left me standing I’m waiting Yeah I’m waiting I’m waiting Even when the sunrise feels like time is fading Even when the echo of your voice is shaking Right here where you left me standing I’m waiting Yeah I’m waiting Maybe I could say it clearer But the truth gets caught between my teeth If I said I still need you here Would you stay Would you breathe with me I’m waiting Even when the sunrise feels like time is fading Even when the echo of your voice is shaking Right here where you left me standing I’m waiting Yeah I’m waiting I’m waiting Still waiting
