Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Dust on the polaroids, rust on the keys
Listening for a whisper, a sign in the dark
Just To tell me you felt the exact same spark
I built up a fortress of "what if" and "maybe"
While drowning the doubts that were driving me crazy


(Chorus)
And I've been waiting for a long time
To hear the words you just said
To know that's the way you feel about me
When that's been what's missing in my head
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to see that look in your eyes
My heart is finally full now
When this heart of mine almost died


(Verse 2)
You caught me off guard in the middle of talking
Just stopped in the street where the ghosts had been walking
You reached out your hand, brushed the chill from my face
And time stopped its turning, erasing the space
You looked right through every defensive wall
And gave me the one thing I wanted of all.


(Chorus)
'Cause I've been waiting for a long time
To hear the words you just said
To know that's the way you feel about me
When that's been what's missing in my head
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to see that look in your eyes
My heart is finally full now
When this heart of mine almost died



(Bridge)
I was starving on breadcrumbs of "almost" and "soon"
Howling my grief to an indifferent moon
I thought that loving was just letting go
Before the cold winds started to blow
But you rewrite the ending, you turn on the light
You made sense of the darkness I fought every night.


(Outro)
No, I couldn't hope for anything deeper.
It's you.
Just the words you just said.
Finally full...
The missing piece in my head.
I've been waiting.
I'm done waiting now.
