Waiting
Baby, I'm lying in wait
The stakes are set high and I'm taking the bait
I'll skate on your thin ice all day
Feeling all the undercurrents running from yesterday
I'll do all the pulling, but you've got the final say
Baby, my arms are open wide
Waiting for you to step inside
To catch you when you curl up and hide
I will lick the tears when you need to cry
Enfold you in my hiding place
In my escape I'll keep you safe
And scrape the dismal waste of waiting off your face
Baby, one more soft week
Sneaks by me in the street
And every new person I meet
Just ain't you
And baby, don't you know?
That I would go if you asked me to
Walk the line that you drew
And any other line that will ensue
Baby, I'm your blank page
And all of your world is my stage
We were made for each other
With your skin like butter and my words in the cloud cover
Old memories smothered to death
And I'm willing to love you under my breath
If that's what you need from me
Baby, I'm lying in wait
The stakes are set high and I'm taking the bait
I'll skate on your thin ice all day
Feeling all the undercurrents running from yesterday
I'll do all the pulling, but you've got the final say
Baby, my arms are open wide
Waiting for you to step inside
To catch you when you curl up and hide
I will lick the tears when you need to cry
Enfold you in my hiding place
In my escape I'll keep you safe
And scrape the dismal waste of waiting off your face
Baby, one more soft week
Sneaks by me in the street
And every new person I meet
Just ain't you
And baby, don't you know?
That I would go if you asked me to
Walk the line that you drew
And any other line that will ensue
Baby, I'm your blank page
And all of your world is my stage
We were made for each other
With your skin like butter and my words in the cloud cover
Old memories smothered to death
And I'm willing to love you under my breath
If that's what you need from me
