[Verse 1]
"It was the coldest January," you said
And that was how we got
To speaking on the telephone
Talking 'til our credit's gone
What was that supposed to mean?
You pulled it out from under me
And it blew up so naturally
Like candlelight and gasoline

[Chorus]
Oh yeah
I'll wait up
It won't be long
I'll leave a light on

[Verse 2]
I saw the writing on the wall
But moved too fast to read it all
I'm sitting down between the flags
Watching over drowning plans
A moment of telepathy
But time runs out eventually
When reading minds is not enough
There's nothing wrong with giving up
[Chorus]
Oh yeah
I'll wait up
It won't bе long
I'll leave a light on
Mind made up
It won't bе long
I'll leave a light on

[Verse 3]
I'm packing up the fantasy
The polaroids of you and me
We didn't have to wait for long
A sprint is not a marathon
Walking through familiar streets
An episode that's on repeat
Now every single road is blocked
The sparks became electric shocks

[Chorus]
Oh yeah
I'll wait up
It won't be long
I'll leave a light on
Mind made up
It won't be long
I'll leave a light on
