[Verse 1] I spend every day waiting,For the other shoe to drop,When someone's gonna drop in and tell me to stop They're gonna tell me that they know,All reasons I dont go,the seasons I didn't grow,All wrapped up in time [Pre-Chorus] Barely breathing....And you are leaving.... [Chorus] When the shoe drops. [Verse 2] I rehearse every confession,For a crime I haven't done,Keep expecting the indictmentFor the person I've become. Every knock becomes a warning,Every ringing telephone,Like somebody found the piecesI was better leaving alone. [Pre-Chorus] Barely breathing....And you are leaving.... [Chorus] When the shoe drops. [Verse 3] I can feel it in the silence,When there's nothing wrong at all,Turn a shadow to a stranger,Turn a whisper to a call. And I know you say you're staying,But I watch you just the same,Looking for the little changes,Waiting for you to say my name. [Pre-Chorus] Barely breathing....And you are leaving.... [Chorus] When the shoe drops. [Bridge] Maybe no one's coming,Maybe no one knows,Maybe there was neverAnything waiting down the road. Maybe all this timeI've been staring at the door,So afraid of what might enterI forgot what I was waiting for. It isn't what they'll tell me.It isn't what they'll find.It isn't all the wasted yearsI've dragged along behind. It's seeing you beside me,Then looking up to find— You're gone. [Break] Barely breathing.... You are leaving.... [Final Chorus] When the shoe drops,Will you still be here? When the shoe drops,And everything I fear Comes walking through the doorwayLike I always knew it would— When the shoe drops.... Will you? [Outro] I spend every day waiting,For the other shoe to drop. But nothing ever happens. And I can't make it stop.
