Can’t Wait

(He) You said forever but you're running now

(She) You always make me wait, so what’s forever mean?

Cheap motel fights, blood on the sink

We talk in circles, can't even think

I’m waiting here, phone on the dash

You’re out there moving too goddamn fast

I’m not your anchor, not your chain

I’m just the ghost that says your name

I’m so sick of watching you wait

You hold on tight while I run from fate

I’m never here, I’m always gone

You’re still believing I’ll prove you wrong

(He) I’ll wait forever if you want me to

(She) Don’t you know I can’t promise you?

(He) I’m on the line but you cut me through

(She) I’m sorry I can’t wait for you

We’re screaming in the dark, can’t find the spark

I’m waiting for you while you’re falling apart

We’re neon signs in the pouring rain

Two broken hearts calling out in vain

Say you’ll wait—but you won’t wait for me

chuka-chuka-chuka-chuka

Can’t keep running on dreams and fears

You’re in my veins like smoke and beer

I’m parking outside your place at two

Hoping you’ll open and say it’s true

Every time you say you’ll stay

I find another reason to push away

I’m not the hero you want tonight

I’m the fire that you can’t fight

(He) I’m here—

(She) I’m gone—

(He) Don’t leave—

(She) Move on—

(Both) Sirens wailing in our heads

Words we never should have said

We’re screaming in the dark, can’t find the spark

I’m waiting for you while you’re falling apart

We’re neon signs in the pouring rain

Two broken hearts calling out in vain

Say you’ll wait—but you won’t wait for me

We’re screaming in the dark, can’t find the spark

Waiting for you while you’re falling apart

Neon signs in the pouring rain

Broken hearts calling out in vain

(He) I’ll wait…

(She) But I can’t…

(He) I’m still here…

(She) I’m sorry…
