(Verse 1) I’m checking my phone in the pale blue light The silence is heavy, it owns the night You sent a short word, just a crumb on the floor And I’m starving, darling, begging for more It’s not quite a promise, it’s not quite a ghost It’s just enough fuel to keep me close To keep me hanging on the edge of the wire Playing with shadows, dancing with fire. (Chorus) It’s not love, it’s just the hope of you A little bit of warmth to pull me through You give me a "maybe," you give me a sign Just enough to keep me waiting in line But my heart is an open, aching door And I don’t want to wait to be chosen anymore. (Verse 2) My nervous system is tied to your tone Building a kingdom on a shifting stone I’m craving the steady, the soft, and the sure But I’m addicted to the cure that isn't a cure It’s the uncertainty, the rush of the blind Keeping my spirit and my busy mind Bound to a puzzle that’s missing the piece Praying for chaos to give me release. (Bridge) They say that consistency is a beautiful thing But I’m chasing the panic, the sting of the spring I’m hooked on the hunger, the distance, the space Searching for home in an unfamiliar place. (Chorus) It’s not love, it’s just the hope of you A little bit of warmth to pull me through You give me a "maybe," you give me a sign Just enough to keep me waiting in line But my heart is an open, aching door And I don’t want to wait to be chosen anymore. (Outro) No, I won’t wait to be chosen I’m closing the door I don’t want the "maybe" I don’t want the "more" I deserve a rhythm that doesn't feel like war Yeah, I don’t want to wait… Not anymore.
