Weakened state

from the minute you saw it
by the time it left my mouth
I knew you wouldn't want it
but I had to ring it out

it only comes when you're sleeping
to kiss your eyelids and your hands
and you're dreaming of wet lips
but not this

all that time didn't pass while you were looking back waiting

I asked for the hard truth
every time
and now the ugly details
are stuck in my mind

and there's a premonition I keep putting off
and the more time passes the most I get soft
I?m standing up there in a weakened state
and it's not great

all that time
did it pass while you were lookin' back waiting?
often I?m waiting on the one that maybe won't come
waiting

and I?m not sayin anything
you think that I forgot
'cause I?m not sayin' anything
but I?m thinkin' a lot

often I?m waiting on the one that maybe won't come
waiting
