[Intro - slow, atmospheric] (Mmm...) [Verse 1 - intimate, smoky] I've been patient as the midnight Counting hours by the glow You built a world inside these walls And forgot to let me know Every question left unanswered Turns to honey, turns to rust I could wait another lifetime But I'm wondering if I must [Pre-Chorus - building slowly] Tell me what you're running from Tell me what you need I've got nothing but this moment And the silence in between [Chorus - aching, powerful] I'm waiting in the wire Caught between the dark and dawn I could burn this whole thing down Or I could carry on I'm waiting in the wire For a word you'll never say So tell me, love, tell me Do I stay or walk away? [Verse 2 - slightly more intensity] You keep your secrets like a sickness Like a fever in the bone I used to think that I could save you Now I'm learning to let go There's a door that's always open There's a light that's growing dim You could meet me in the middle But you don't know how to swim [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you're running from Tell me what you need I've got nothing but this moment And the silence in between [Chorus] I'm waiting in the wire Caught between the dark and dawn I could burn this whole thing down Or I could carry on I'm waiting in the wire For a word you'll never say So tell me, love, tell me Do I stay or walk away? [Bridge - sparse, vulnerable] (Mmm...) Maybe I'm the fool For wanting what I can't hold Maybe you're the ghost Of someone I used to know [Outro - fading, haunted] Waiting in the wire... (Do I stay or walk away?) Waiting in the wire...
