The Wait

THE WAIT
Sitting by the window, counting down the days
Every second feels like forever in this haze
Your voice echoes in the distance, calling out my name
But the miles between us feed this burning flame

I'm holding on to every word you said
Replaying every moment in my head

This is the wait, the ache I cannot shake
Every dawn, another chance you'll take
To come back home to me
This is the wait, the burden that I bear
Breathing in the weight of all this air
Until you set me free
This is the wait

Promises like diamonds scattered on the ground
In the quiet of the night, I hear your sound
Time moves slowly when you're far away
But I'd wait forever, there's no other way
**Pre-Chorus:**
I'm counting stars and making wishes true
Every single one is leading back to you

This is the wait, the ache I cannot shake
Every dawn, another chance you'll take
To come back home to me
This is the wait, the burden that I bear
Breathing in the weight of all this air
Until you set me free

And if it takes a lifetime, I will stand right here
Through the doubt and darkness, I will persevere
'Cause what we have is stronger than the distance we endure
And that's the only thing I know for sure

This is the wait, the beauty and the pain
Every storm, I'm calling out your name
Come back home to me
This is the wait, but I will never break
All the time it takes, I'll never hesitate
You mean everything to me
This is the wait
Oh, this is the wait]
