We're Left Waiting

In a dark black night
It’s cold, so I press against your chest
And bury my nose
Into a jacket soaked in gray city sweat

And we
Belong
In such a place much farther than here
But in
This street
Those grassy worlds can’t be near
And so
We wait
On time, on love, on distant dreams
And so
We’re left waiting

This college beer town
Stains our eyes in painted red lights
We’re holding hands
To fight the crowds of all lost fights

You break us through
The smell of cigarettes bites my face
We jaywalk the street
Each step a drunk-set cold-rushed pace

And we
Belong
In such a place much farther than here
But in
This street
Those grassy worlds can’t be near
And so
We wait
On time, on love, on distant dreams
And so
We’re left waiting

And the cabs won’t stop and the cars all rear
Back on us, honking in our ears
You wait on me, I clutch your hand
And now my dress is held in your wool again
I know there’s more, atleast you’re near
And we’re just left waiting here
And we’ll just wait here.

And we
Belong
In such a place much farther than here
But in
This street
Those grassy worlds can’t be near
And so
We wait
On time, on love, on distant dreams
And so
We’re left waiting

Still

It's been two years
And things ain't been the same
I cry your name
In the dark, to stars, late at night
And now it's cold
I guess the leaves still fall the same
But I still miss your face

When you'd laugh
I'd laugh too
I'd follow you
To any dark shadester stoner home
And in the smoke
We brought past to their knees
Now these memories
Can't help but bring me down

It's been two years
And things ain't been the same
I cry your name
In the dark, to stars, late at night
And now it's cold
I guess the leaves still fall the same
But I still miss your face

In that dorm bed
We were only friends
We never held our hands
To the bonds they expected from us
And still I ask
Could you have held in more?
But now these closing doors
Only show me glimpses of what could of been

It's been two years
And things ain't been the same
I cry your name
In the dark, to stars, late at night
And now it's cold
I guess the leaves still fall the same
But I still miss your face
