Waiting for Nothing

[Verse]
I still wake up early
Still follow the routine
Same drive
Same schedule
Same quiet between
Nothing falling apart
Nothing getting better
Just another day
That looks like forever

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to watch the door
Used to watch the signs
Now I just move through it
One day at a time

[Chorus]
I’m waiting for nothing
Nothing to change
Nothing to fix
Nothing to save
I’m waiting for nothing
And that’s the truth
I stopped believing
Something new was coming to you

[Verse]
I don’t check the tone
Of the way you speak
I don’t measure distance
I don’t look that deep
Everything’s steady
Everything works
And I don’t expect
Anything more than this

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a kind of calm
That comes from letting go
Not peace
Just accepting what you know

[Chorus]
I’m waiting for nothing
No better days
No sudden shift
No different ways
I’m waiting for nothing
Still standing here
Not hoping anymore
Not leaving either

[Bridge]
It’s not anger
It’s not pain
It’s the quiet
After the strain
When you stop asking life
To feel different
And just live inside it

[Build]
Everything moving
Nothing inside

[Final Chorus]
I’m waiting for nothing
And it feels normal now
Same life
Same ground
I’m waiting for nothing
And maybe that’s true
Nothing is coming
And nothing is you

[Outro]
Sometimes the end
Isn’t the leaving
It’s when the waiting
Disappears
