I was waiting for you, babe

so tonight I close my eyes
I see familiar glance
teenage fights get lost
in senior city tales
the sky is burning
I stand still on the street
I wanna feel your body as it’s rushing all on me

but it’s just how the story goes
the risk you're gonna take
9 years of wondering if
I let my heart forget the ache
you say it was hard
to be away from me
and all you ever want to ask is where I have been

I was waiting for you babe
but the morning will break it
I was waiting for you babe


the white shirt and the tie
summer 15 again
the stadium and bleachers
the August sky and rain

so what about your wife
she’s more like family now
I was waiting for you all this goddamn time

I whisper what about her?
you laugh and said it’s life
I'm not lookin' for somebody
she’s more just like a sister i waited for you all this time
I missed your midnights
your morning honesty
wondering if somewhere you were dreaming I was there

I was waiting for you babe
But the morning will break it

do you really wanna know
the price I had to pay
shes more just like a friend
that I used to ease my pain
and for a moment
the night behind the school
its turning to the miracle where I’ll be touched by you

I was waiting for you babe
But the morning will break it
I'll be waiting for you babe
But the morning will break it
