[Verse 1]
Five winters
Same worn jacket
Your keys still sleep by my door
Our names carved in the closet wood
But my last name never changed at all
I held your hand through every fire
You traced circles on my skin
You say forever when you’re tired
But you never let forever begin
[Chorus]
Five years
Still waiting for a ring
Got a promise
But I want the thing
Not a someday story you keep rewriting
Five years of "later
" "soon
" "one day"
I’m done living in your halfway
If you love me
Why am I still waiting? (still waiting)
[Verse 2]
[Male vocal
Gritty]
I see the shadow in your questions
Hear the tremor in your laugh
You’re counting candles
Counting seconds
Wondering when I’ll cross that gap
[Female vocal]
Your friends joke
"man
Just ask her"
I smile
Pretend it doesn’t sting
But every birthday
Every dinner
Feels like a stage where nothing happens
[Chorus]
Five years
Still waiting for a ring
Got a promise
But I want the thing
Not a someday story you keep rewriting
Five years of "later
" "soon
" "one day"
I’m done living in your halfway
If you love me
Why am I still waiting? (why am I still waiting?)
[Bridge]
[Male vocal
Screamed]
Are you scared to choose
Or scared to lose me?
You can’t hold me close
And never claim me
[Female vocal
Soaring]
I’m out of patience
Out of prayers
I won’t stay trapped in empty air
Either stand up
Speak my name
Or I walk out of this game (hey!)
[Chorus]
Five years
I’m done waiting for a ring
Give me truth or let the silence sing
No more faded futures you keep reciting
Five years of "later
" "soon
" "one day"
This is the moment
Not someday
If you love me
Stop my endless waiting (stop the waiting)
[Outro]
[Both vocals
Gang chant]
Five years
One choice
One word
One voice
Five years
Decide
Your heart
Or mine goodbye
