Waiting

(Verse 1) Late night, city lights, drowning in the silence, Whiskey in my veins, got me speaking in defiance. Smoke in the air, let it dance with the moon, Clock ticks slow, but my mind moves soon. (Pre-Chorus) Ain’t no party, ain't no cake, just a lighter and a spark, Let the ashes tell the story, leave my name inside the dark. (Chorus) Shadows and smoke, that's all I know, Let the night run deep, let the cold wind blow. Ain’t no candles, ain't no cheer, just the echoes in my ear, If you really know me, then I know you’re near. (Verse 2) Phone stays quiet, but the thoughts still loud, Every message left on read like I’m lost in the crowd. Yeah, I don’t chase love, but I know what it means, If you’re real, then you’ll show, no need for the screens. (Bridge) Low beats hummin', heart still drummin', Don’t need a stage when the words keep runnin'. Glass in my hand, let the ice melt slow, If you remember, then I already know. (Rap Bridge ) Flick the ashes, watch 'em fall like stars, Midnight drives with these unhealed scars. Ain't no wish on a candle, ain't no fake dreams, Just the echoes of a past that still haunts me. If you out there, don’t say a word, I can feel you in the silence, yeah, that’s all I heard. (Verse 3 ) Streetlights flicker, but my mind stays dim, Every sip I take, got me thinking ‘bout him. Ain’t about the past, but it lingers too long, Every note in this song feel like something went wrong. (Chorus) Shadows and smoke, that's all I know, Let the night run deep, let the cold wind blow. Ain’t no candles, ain't no cheer, just the echoes in my ear, If you really know me, then I know you’re near. (Outro ) Yeah, I don’t say it, but I feel it in my soul, If you're out there thinkin’ ‘bout me, then I already know. Footsteps in the dark, whispers in the air, Even in the silence, I know you're still there.
