It’s been eleven years now
Since you got tangled in my dreams
And in the time when I was with you finally
You were just so sweet
The world was at our feet
Well, summer came to drag me away, and
You kissed me in that salty breeze
Waved at me from those old palm trees
And I prayed I’d be back one day
Well now I’m standing on an ocean pier
I flew out to see you after seven years, you’re
Still all I want but I’m wondering
Do you want me here?
I know you always have it going on
A spotlight on your every move
But I wonder how hard would it be
To find a place in your heart for me?
I try to ask what you’re thinking
But you dance around the answers again
Another round in this game we play
And it’s time to end
Sun fades
One more day
While I’m waiting for a wave to wash your answer to the shore
Praying
Maybe
Could I stay
Would you just say?
Carefree next to the beach
I know that it’s not really free
But you remind me of a time back when
I could see beyond the horizon
Living in limbo gets old after awhile
Following a broken compass
Every day it points a different way
I need a final say
Sun fades
One more day
While I’m waiting for a wave to wash your answer to the shore
Praying
Maybe
Could I stay
Would you just say?
Sun fades
One more day
While I’m waiting for a wave to wash your answer to the shore
Praying
Maybe
Could I stay?
Would you just—
Sun fades (Sunlight fades on)
One more day (One more day while)
While I’m waiting for a wave to wash your answer to the shore (Waiting for a wave)
Praying
Maybe
Could I stay?
Could I stay?
Well maybe
You’ve been
Waiting
For me
