**[INTRO — whispered / VHS static]** I know you're not mine yet... I know, I know... But I'm counting every second. **[VERSE 1]** I check my phone, nothing again Tell myself, “Just wait till then” You said someday, you said soon Now I'm staring at the ceiling in my room I know there's things you gotta do I know I shouldn't rush you But every minute feels like ten I wanna skip right to the end **[PRE-CHORUS]** I won't pull you away I won't make you choose But if you walk through that door I'll be running straight to you **[CHORUS]** I'll wait, but barely My heart's going crazy You say it's gonna happen So why does time move slowly? I'll wait, but barely I want you so badly I'm trying to be patient But you're all that I think about lately **[POST-CHORUS]** Tick-tock, tick-tock Why won't the clock stop? Tick-tock, tick-tock I just want my girl— when the time is right. **[VERSE 2]** I imagine walking beside you No secrets left between us two No wondering what could be Just you and me, finally But I don't wanna steal your choice I wanna hear it in your voice When you decide what you want I'll be there when the waiting's done **[PRE-CHORUS]** I won't pull you away I won't make you choose But if you walk through that door I'll be running straight to you **[CHORUS]** I'll wait, but barely My heart's going crazy You say it's gonna happen So why does time move slowly? I'll wait, but barely I want you so badly I'm trying to be patient But you're all that I think about lately **[BRIDGE — beat drops out]** Maybe tomorrow Maybe next week Maybe the moment You finally choose me I won't force the ending I won't write the scene I'll let you decide What you really need **[FINAL CHORUS — bigger / distorted]** I'll wait, but barely My heart's going crazy You say it's gonna happen So why does time move slowly? I'll wait, but barely Still dreaming daily And when the waiting's over Come find me— I'll be ready. **[OUTRO — whispered]** Tick-tock... I'm still waiting. *static* ...but I'm okay.
