While I Was Waiting

(álbum: Constellation - 2018)

When I finally put my heart away
Stepped out of the mess that I had made
A long time coming but it's late than never, I said
People say there's someone you should see
I say "Why are you doing this to me?"
I'm happy on the shelf, there's nothing left
To rattle my head

I walked into the room and I just knew right away
Small talk time as the hours slipped away
So many nights, so blue
Oh, what else could I do
Oh, while I was waiting for you

Should've seen the ones that came around
Like they're picking through the lost and found
I looked 'em up and down and I wished that they would pass on by
Maybe it was something in their walk
Or something funny about the way they talk
Whatever it was, they were dead before they'd even try

They stumbled through the door, said they're feeling kinda shy
They tell me their life story, man I could died
So many nights, so blue
Oh, what else could I do
Oh, while I was waiting for you

I looked into your eyes and then I knew
All my waiting time was through
Never felt a jolt like this before
That woke me up like a siren screaming
Like the shock of a slamming door

I looked into your eyes and then I knew
All my waiting time was through
Never felt a jolt like this before
That woke me up like a siren screaming
Like the shock of a slamming door

Who knows 'bout the road that lies ahead
Could be good or we could all be dead
A little life's lesson, you don't go messing round with fate
I woke up in the morning like it's just another day
Could've made a wrong turn, baby who's to say
So many nights, so blue
Oh, what else could I do
Oh, while I was waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
