Left Waiting at the Last Minute

[Verse 1] Dust on my boots Clock on the wall You said, “Be ready” Then you missed the call Parking lot empty Just the neon sign Your shadow never showed Guess you changed your mind [Chorus] Left waiting at the last minute Standing alone in the dark like a fool No way of going anywhere Nobody else to turn to No place safe, this world cuts cruel and thin Thoughts of being safe, they just slip, they just spin And the look on their faces Says it all, says it all [Verse 2] Phone in my hand Screen cold and bright “Message not delivered” Yeah, that fits the night Couple folks staring Like they know my pain Like they’ve worn this dress In a different rain [Chorus] Left waiting at the last minute Standing alone in the dark like a fool No way of going anywhere Nobody else to turn to No place safe, this world cuts cruel and thin Thoughts of being safe, they just slip, they just spin And the look on their faces Says it all, says it all [Bridge] If this is love Then I’ve paid my dues (oh) Shaking in the shadows In these worn-out shoes But I’ll find a road Where my heart feels strong Somewhere I’m not The one that’s done wrong [Chorus] Left waiting at the last minute Standing alone in the dark like a fool No way of going anywhere Nobody else to turn to No place safe, this world cuts cruel and thin Thoughts of being safe, they just slip, they just spin And the look on their faces Says it all, says it all (yeah)
