Waiting

I cry in my car
I can cry when I want
All I have to do is just think about the day
That you told me I'm always sad
And you like my look
But I talk too much
It's just the sky is so damn beautiful
I feel like that deserves another look
But I wasn't nervous
And I wasn't angry
I was just so happy you were here at all
Fingers aching
Chest wide open
And I feel like you saw me
Like I never could see myself
When you told me
That there wasn't much left to bet
So you're waiting
To see if my hope will come back
And I'm waiting
I'm always waiting
But look at us now
We're as big as a house
The one we used to drive past
Dream about the day it would be ours
Next time that I'll be on a plane
I'll be holding a drink
And thinking all I needed
Was some ultraviolet light into my veins
But I wasn't nervous
From all that dreaming
I was just so happy I could dream at all
Cause in my dreams I'm usually laughing
And I feel like you saw me
Like I never could see myself
When you told me
That there wasn't much left to bet
So you're waiting
To see if my hope will come back
And I'm waiting
I'm always waiting for you
And I'm sorry
That I never showed you enough
And you're sorry
That I'm still a dime in the rough
So we're waiting
To see where the flood will come next
And I'm waiting
I'm always waiting
