Waiting Here

I’m lying here waiting

For a text, or a call

Now this is frustrating

It’s like today means nothing at all

When actually today was meant to be

A turning point

A reconciliation of you and me

I should get used to being disappointed.

 

I’m waiting here

With my telephone waiting near

Waiting for just a call

From someone we want more

Than anything else right now

I’m not calling you, that’s my vow.

 

Every minute passed

Feels like an hour in the past

Time seems to be going backward

I wish you would call, it’s my reward

For waiting here for so long

I just need to persist and stay strong

Every minute from now

Seems like an hour somehow.

 

I’m waiting here

With my telephone waiting near

Waiting for just a call

From someone we want more

Than anything else right now

I’m not calling you, that’s my vow.

 

I just need to see you

I haven’t felt you in so long, too long

It’s why I write this song

Because I miss you so much

I just want to feel you, touch you

I’m waiting here

My telephone kept near

I’m not calling you

That’s just a mock

Oh maybe I’ll call you

At 11 o’clock.
