From a photo to a phone call and on to the front steps
It’s a clever way to illustrate all of the patterns we create
I’m counting seconds between every breath I take
While you patiently anticipate everything you want me to say

But what you’re waiting for just isn’t worth the wait

Do you have good days, or am I still in your way?
Are all the things you thought were worth it turning out to be mistakes?
Does it feel like we’re stuck forever, alone together?
We are

We used to talk about the future
We haven’t said a word in weeks
Are you afraid to let go, let go?
Are you afraid to let go?
Even though you’re guilty/nervous/sick over the things you struggle with
And second guess what you would miss if you could live without the distance after all

But what you’re waiting for just isn’t worth the wait

Do you have good days, or am I still in your way?
Are all the things you thought were worth it turning out to be mistakes?
Does it feel like we’re stuck forever, alone together?
We are

But soon enough, I’ll grow into a body that you have never touched
You’ll shed your skin between the sheets where you’re making memories without me

But what you’re waiting for just isn’t worth the wait
Stuck forever, alone together
