The Wait

THE WAIT Sitting by the window, counting down the days Every second feels like forever in this haze Your voice echoes in the distance, calling out my name But the miles between us feed this burning flame I'm holding on to every word you said Replaying every moment in my head This is the wait, the ache I cannot shake Every dawn, another chance you'll take To come back home to me This is the wait, the burden that I bear Breathing in the weight of all this air Until you set me free This is the wait Promises like diamonds scattered on the ground In the quiet of the night, I hear your sound Time moves slowly when you're far away But I'd wait forever, there's no other way **Pre-Chorus:** I'm counting stars and making wishes true Every single one is leading back to you This is the wait, the ache I cannot shake Every dawn, another chance you'll take To come back home to me This is the wait, the burden that I bear Breathing in the weight of all this air Until you set me free And if it takes a lifetime, I will stand right here Through the doubt and darkness, I will persevere 'Cause what we have is stronger than the distance we endure And that's the only thing I know for sure This is the wait, the beauty and the pain Every storm, I'm calling out your name Come back home to me This is the wait, but I will never break All the time it takes, I'll never hesitate You mean everything to me This is the wait Oh, this is the wait]
