Keep You Waiting

(album: Made Up Lost Time - 2020)

Do you see?
All of the trees, you're the space in-between the leaves
'Cause time is an object designed for the weak, at least
I'm undefeated, life unrepeated
I put the hate underneath me
You won't call until you need me, easy

And I won't tell you who is to blame
Take every episode you taped
Play it back before you go away
'Cause I wasn't the one who's out too late

So don't
Say a word about staying up at night
We're too young to care this much about
Anyone other than ourselves
At any one moment, I could tell
That you could've been anybody else
With any luck, I'll tell you how I felt

Do you see?
What we wanted was so real to me
So real, so real
That my fear is behind me, staring
If I'm sorry
It's not for anything other than
To feel the feeling
And it's tearing me up, I'm just scared

When I breathe
I feel the air slipping straight through my teeth, so please
I'm just one set of lungs, I get barely enough for me
Off to the races, miles change the patience
Heart stays locked in the basement
I do not need a facelift, maybe

And I see the way that you turn out
I can see that it is your turn now
Before this old record, it turns off
'Cause I got nowhere to turn to now

So don't
Say a word about staying up this time
Getting too damn old to care about
Anyone other than ourselves
At any one moment, I could tell
That you could've been anybody else
With any luck, I'll tell you how I felt

Do you see?
What we wanted was so real to me
So real, so real
That my fear is behind me, staring
If I'm sorry
It's not for anything other than
To feel the feeling
And it's tearing me up, I'm just scared

(I'm sorry)
When it runs out
Could you leave me where you found me?
Who you trust now?
I guess that one was about me
Don't lie, I know where you think you take me
Hope you don't mind if I'm gonna keep you waiting

When it runs out
Could you leave me where you found me?
Who you trust now?
I guess that one was about me
Don't lie, I know where you think you take me
Hope you don't mind if I'm gonna keep you waiting
