[Verse 1] Can't wait so long with assumptions the only thing said Can't just expect that ears can hear thoughts inside heads Can't wait around for words to grow out of souls And the weather's too cold to sprout seeds quite that bold [Chorus] Waiting so long and I can't break the hold Of the endings I carved being lonely and old Last chance for water and a three-day thirst And here I have waited too long to hear you say it first [Verse 2] Now the soil's bare and love has been scorched by the drought Words are the water of love and the plants have dried out Can't find a chemical or compost to put in the ground To turn this around Can love still be found? [Chorus] Waiting so long and I can't break the hold Of the endings I carved being lonely and old Last chance for water and a three-day thirst And here I have waited too long to hear you say it first [Bridge] Will the autopsy say that I died of words stuck in my head Cold and alone clinging hard to things I never said Broken hearts can't kill the man who's got no heart to break Rewards don't ever come to those who play it safe [Chorus] Waiting so long and I can't break the hold Of the endings I carved being lonely and old Last chance for water and a three-day thirst And here I have waited too long to hear you say it first [Chorus] Waiting so long and I can't break the hold Of the endings I carved being lonely and old Last chance for water and a three-day thirst And here I have waited too long to hear you say it first
