Car's been in the parking lot for days
I took my time out to LA
Saw Stax records and a Taco Bell
And we haven't spoken but to say
That I've arrived and that I'm safe
And I'm unpacking here and all is well
Tell me what you're waiting for
Is it a guilt trip or a reclaiming of power?
Tell me what you're waiting for
Will it hurt less in another million hours?
The story's over, the love is dead
We had our lap around the sun
But now it's set
So when you finally get tired of seeing red
And you're ready I, ready I, ready I
Would love to make amends
Wonder if you ever read the note
Wrote for your birthday years ago
And said to open when you're feeling down
I left it in a bottle on the shelf
Sealed with a cork and old sea shells
Guess it might float here when you throw it out
Tell me what you're waiting for
Have you forgotten it's not just for decoration?
Tell me what you're waiting for
You're bringing up my once forgotten desperation
The story's over, the love is dead
We had our lap around the sun
But now it's set
So when you finally get tired of seeing red
And you're ready I, ready I, ready I
Would love to make amends
And I know you're scared to think
I might be fucking around, I'm not
It's worse, I went and fell in love
But that's besides the point
Shouldn't be bringing it up
When the story's over
The story's over, the love is dead
We tried our best to chase the sun
But now it's set
So when you finally get tired of seeing red
And you're ready I, ready I, oh I'll
Be waiting for you, friend
