(Verse 1)
The sun rises across the horizon bright,
I’m pouring the coffee while just passing time.
That perfect cup could never get old,
Watching the morning light turn the night lights into gold.
(Chorus)
I’ve worked my whole life just to build some common ground,
Something that we could share, somewhere to settle down.
Built this place brick by brick to provide a better view,
Everything’s in order, but the only thing missing is you.
(Verse 2)
You don’t mind the tan or the calloused hands,
Tracing lines on my face while trying to understand.
But there’s a shyness that I just can’t break through,
Holding back the reins on the place we’re moving to.
(Chorus)
I’ve worked my whole life just to build some common ground,
Something that we could share, somewhere to settle down.
Built this place brick by brick to provide a better view,
Everything’s in order, but the only thing missing is you.
(Bridge)
I know that your poor heart’s been broken and it’s worn,
So I’m gonna take it slow till your new heart’s been born.
’Cause I’ve got nothing left to do,
Except to wait for you.
(Chorus)
I’ve worked my whole life just to build some common ground,
Something that we could share, somewhere to settle down.
Built this place brick by brick to provide a better view,
Everything’s in order, but the only thing missing is you.
(Outro)
Yeah, I’ve got nothing left to do.
I’m just waiting here for you.
