i’ve been waiting longer than you know
i’ve been pacing
sleeping in my clothes
it should keep you awake
because it keeps me awake
just when the engines hum to carry you away
i’ll think of what to say
just when the angels run to carry you away
i’ll break it to you easy
and it’ll keep you awake
because it keeps me awake
i know just what to say
when words get in the way
and the sentiment is overdue
but it still holds true today
and at least it’ll mean the same thing or something
somewhere some way
in another home
in some different place
you’ll be counting mistakes
i’ll be waiting
waiting for the day
i’ll waste another day
while it keeps you awake
and it should keep you awake
because it keeps me awake
the more you sleep the more i rise
the more i think the more i compromise
i’ll dot another “i”
and it’ll keep you awake
it keeps me awake
and i know just what to say
when words get in the way
and the sentiment is overdue
but it still holds true today
and at least it’ll mean the same thing
and no one can complain
at least it’ll mean the same thing or something
before you speak
before you try
before you even dot another “i”
i will correct you
because i love you
