(Verse 1) I’ve been standing on this corner Like I grew out of the ground Same crack in the pavement Same streetlight losing count The light keeps changing its mind But I don’t cross, I just stare Every stranger almost you Every almost breaks the air (Pre-Chorus) I practice sentences I’ll never say My mouth moves but the world looks away (Chorus) I’m waiting forever I don’t know why I say your name But the sound won’t try I’m waiting forever Under this sky Like a scene where the music plays But the words don’t arrive (Verse 2) We picked this place, this hour You said, just give me time I memorized the promise Like a permanent sign I check the street for meaning In the space where you should be Every minute asking Did you still mean me? Pre-Chorus There’s a thought I won’t let through That you chose not to come through (Chorus) I’m waiting forever On borrowed belief Convincing my heart This delay isn’t disbelief I’m waiting forever In black and white time Like a silent film Where I’m never given my line (Bridge) I drift into excuses Maybe it was an accident Or something else that kept you away Maybe it wasn’t rejection Just a wrong turn A tired day Something too small to explain I replay the conversation Till the words fall apart Looking for the moment You stopped meaning the start (Final Chorus) I’m waiting forever But I won’t call it that It’s just standing still Where we said we’d meet at last I’m waiting forever Till the night decides to end Because leaving this corner Feels like losing you again (Outro) The light changes again I still don’t go You were supposed to be here That’s all I know
