lyrics

While We Wait

Under bright lights he’s caught cheating
But loves blind is that why you still see him
Years going by with
Smoke in your eyes
Blowing your candles out
It’s colder outside tonight
He told her everyday will lose its light
Years going by with
Tears in your eyes
Pouring your feelings out

Oh don’t you tell me I wasn’t around

Dreams come true when you stop sleeping
Wake the old and tell’em something new
Are we just chasing after lies
Or are we running from the truth

A promise he gave away
A long kiss at the end of the driveway
Saying goodbye with
A wink of an eye
Rolling your windows down
Tomorrow became today as the sunshine
Wakes him up in the hallway
Saying goodbye to
That look in his eyes
Taking his pictures down

Oh don’t you tell me still hangs around

Dreams come true when you stop sleeping
Wake me up and tell me we’re ok
Are we just chasing after lies
Or are we running for our lives
And if you’re ever losing faith
Because forever seems too late
Well then I’ll hold you while we wait and spend the rest of forever with you

Drink yourself to sleep my dear there’s no one here but me
Dream yourself away from here and tell me what you see

Dreams come true when you stop sleeping
Wake me up and tell me we’re ok
Are we just chasing after lies
Or are we running for our lives
And if you’re ever losing faith
Because forever seems too late
Well then I’ll hold you while we wait and spend the rest of forever with you

Drink yourself to sleep my dear there’s no one here but me
Dream yourself away from here and tell me what you see
