I have been waiting for much too long, I have been waiting here in the heart, I have been waiting for much too long, To see what I’ll become. I have been waiting for much too long, I have been waiting, I know I am strong, I have been waiting for much too long, To see what I’ll become. Everything is as it is, There’s no need to change it, no, no need to change it, All we are is what we are, There’s no need to change it, no, no need to change it. I have been waiting here, for so long. Everything is as it is, There’s no need to change it, no, no need to change it, All we are is what we are, There’s no need to change it, no, no need to change it. I have been waiting for much too long, I have been waiting here in the heart, I have been waiting for much too long, Now see what I’ve become…

Cellar Door 02:32
I wait outside the door, And I try to be there for you. I wait outside the door for you...

I was alone for what felt like an age, But now in your arms I feel just the same. And through the wars that we have waged ourselves, We’re losing the things that made us something else. Still I’m stripped to my soul for you, And I’ve been here so long it hurts. These days crawl on by you knew, Still I’m stripped to my soul it’s true… And as the hours go on into days, I feel the longing for something greater may. Open my bones and throw me into space, But open your mind and I will let you in. Still I’m stripped to my soul for you, And I’ve been here so long it hurts. These days crawl on by you knew, Still I’m stripped to my soul it’s true…

Every Second 04:37
I don’t know why the caged bird sings at night, But I know it does… Through the crowds and streets oh so loud, I can lose my voice. If morning comes through at all, Then hour falls… The soul stripped and door open, Rise above it all…

Hospital 05:31
In the hospital bed lay down all your love…your love… In the hospital bed reach out to the stars…the stars… As the lights dim down, speak what’s in your mind…your mind… As the lights dim down, tell her all you can find…you find…

Dreamer’s wake alone… But all I see is your picture. Curves below the clouds… Open eyes and open arms. But you won’t…and you don't... Cold hard emotion, Calls out in the dark when you’re gone. When you’re gone…yes you’re gone… And all I have dreamed, Is now lost in the waves of dawn, When you’re gone…yes you’re gone… All those times I could’ve asked you, But I wake before my chance… Smile and laugh away the evening, Just to wake up in my bed… Cold hard emotion, Calls out in the dark when you’re gone. When you’re gone…yes you’re gone… And all I have dreamed, Is now lost in the waves of dawn, When you’re gone…yes you’re gone…

Dusk 01:16

I know, it’s true, It’s not the same here, without you. And things, slow down, Worlds collide and fade out fast, am I there? What we’ve been through, Proves to me, I’m not over you. And I’ve been here before…but it’s only week one. With words, I’ve lost, I can’t make sense of what’s going on. In time, with hope, I’ll see it through and prove to you, I am here. What we’ve been through, Proves to me, I’m not over you. And I’ve been here before…but it’s only week one. And I’m searching for a place I will call home, In about seven days or so… And I’m hoping that the world won’t pass me by, But no one ever seems to relate…
