lyrics

I was waiting for your call
I was waiting to get caught
I was waiting to get hot
I was waiting all the same
I was waiting all the same
I was waiting all the same

I went swimming with a knife
I was praying for a fight
I was tangled up in light
and darkness all the same
light darkness all the same
light darkness all the same
light darkness all the same

If you wanna kiss me
hurry up and kiss me on my way
if you wanna miss me
better wait and kiss me another day

I am making up the words
I am making up them first
I am making up the words
'cause I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say
no I don't know what to say

I was dancing to your song
I was singing all along
I was dancing to your song
and then you scared me far away
you gone and scared me to my grave
you gone and scared me to my grave

if I'm gonna trust you
might as well trust you today
and if I'm gonna love you
might as well love you in vain

I was waiting for your call
I was waiting to get caught
I was waiting to get hot
I was waiting all the same
I was waiting all the same
I was waiting all the same

I've been waiting for someone
to come and pull this thread undone
button up my buttons wrong
and open up this heart of song
oh I've been waiting far too long
to open up this heart of song

I've been waiting for someone
to come and pull this thread undone
button up my buttons wrong
and open up this heart of song
I've been waiting far too long
to open up this heart of song

if the world will teach me
might as well let it teach me wrong
and if your heart can't reach me
at least you know it's given me this song
