Waiting (Brownstein/Battat)
Shifting my sensation from elation to despair
I get turned round too quickly but I’m too caught up to care
I’m starting now to get a grip while I’m simultaneously slipping
It’s all that I know
A peek in my perspective is a fairly familiar sight
We’re both reflective of the absence and the light
Sometimes it’s that space in your heart that can make you whole
You just made room for a better mood that’s good for your soul
I can’t keep waiting
For something to change
It won’t work around here
Yeah all our hopes and fears
Is what has made our vision so clear, so now
It’s just up to us
A promise to ourselves to never give up
This isn’t a dream that we need to wake up from
Just look back, see how far we’ve come
A creature of habit some of my friends would say
I spread myself thin so often that at the end of every day
I stop myself in motion just to gather what I spilled
Sometimes life moves in slow motion to get you over the hill
And all this time I’m taking to push myself ahead
I can’t help but think about the things I could be doing instead
But there’s no other option only obstacles and oh
The many more memories that I’ll be thankful for
I can’t keep waiting
For something to change
It won’t work around here
Yeah all our hopes and fears
Is what has made our vision so clear, so now
It’s just up to us
A promise to ourselves to never give up
This isn’t a dream that we need to wake up from
Just look back, see how far we’ve come
Waiting
Always just waiting
I can’t keep waiting
For something to change
Waiting
Always just waiting
I can’t keep waiting
For something to change
It won’t work around here
Yeah all our hopes and fears
Is what has made our vision so clear, so now
It’s just up to us
A promise to ourselves to never give up
This isn’t a dream that we need to wake up from
Just look back, see how far we’ve come
