How long will you spend waiting
for the perfect sunrise to wake you up
and shake you up
so you can see what you’re doing

How long will you spend waiting
for the final heartache to wear you down,
she tears you down
until the flame in you burns itself out

Even in the silence I hear you call me and
even in the darkness I feel you touch me
Oh, you know I can’t let you go
So I’m waiting here until you fall apart
right here into my heart

How long will you spend waiting
for the perfect moment to set you up
and dress you up
For the disappointment you can’t seem to face

How long will you spend waiting
before the loneliness inside your head
trapped in your bed
screams out in the night, Oh

Even in the silence I hear you call me
and even in the darkness I feel you needing me
Oh, you know I can’t let you go
So I’m waiting here until you fall apart
right here into my heart

There is no perfect time to break away
There is no easy fall when you fall apart

How long will you spend waiting
for the perfect evening, you waste away
and contemplate
the way you want your life to be

And how long will you spend waiting
before you realize that all you’ve ever wanted
was to stay here with me

Even in the silence I hear you call me
and even in the darkness I feel you needing me
Oh, you know I won’t let you go
So I’m waiting here until you fall apart
right here into my heart
