wish for once

dream fast, one more moment and night has passed 
morning creeping up your skin 
through the blinds the sunrise makes itself at home 
in tattooed shadows on your chin 

daybreak leaves our last lament confused 
in open eyes to dreams that failed to stay with you 
i played it off like i was easily amused
standing comfortable and true 

i wish for once i wish the waiting served us well
but if my exit helps you breathe 
i will wait right here and when we've figured this all out,
i'll show you what i saw from here 
if my exit helps you breathe 

you're lonely now, don't tell me we're not dreaming here 
i want to wake up someplace new 
throw yourself in, turn away or please remember 
you among the two who felt this turn in you

i wish for once i wish the waiting served us well
but if my exit helps you breathe 
i will wait right here and when we've figured this all out,
i'll show you what i saw from here   

wait right here 
tell me from this height if i'm falling out of line
if you're waiting, i'm sure 
you're waiting just to say if i'm falling out of line 

i played if off like i was easily amused 
i never thought you'd understand 
you made your call and found your way back home to come alive
but burned too bright to hold you still in hand

i wish for once i wish the waiting served us well
but if my exit helps you breathe 
i will wait right here and when we've figured this all out,
i'll show you what i saw from here 
wait right here.
