Keep You Waiting
[Verse 1]
Do you see all of the trees
Or 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's 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 have been anybody else
With any luck, I'll tell you how I felt

[Chorus]
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 the feel-
The feeling
And it's tearing me open just caring
[Verse 2]
When I breathe
I feel the air slippin' straight through my teeth
So please
I'm just one set of lungs, I get barely enough for me
Off to the races, mind's changin' patience
Heart stays locked in the basement
I do not I need a face lift, maybe
And I see the way that you turn out
I can say that it is your turn now
Before this whole record, it turns south
'Cause I got nowhere to turn to now

[Pre-Chorus]
So don't
Say a word about staying up this time
Gettin' too damn old to care about anyone
Other than ourselves
At any one moment, I could tell
That you could have been anybody else
With any luck, I'll tell you how I felt

[Chorus]
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 the feel-
The feeling
And it's tearing me open just caring
[Outro]
(I'm sorry)
When it runs out
Could you leave me how you found me?
Who you trust now?
I guess that one wasn't 'bout me
No lie, I know where you think take me
Hope you don't mind if I'm gonna keep you waiting
When it runs out
Could you leave me how you found me?
Who you trust now?
I guess that one wasn't 'bout me
No lie, I know where you think take me
Hope you don't mind if I'm gonna keep you waiting
