Ive been waiting for a lifetime
For a smile like yours
Ive been waiting to feel something
something simple, nothing more
Ive been waiting for a year now
to find something that I want
And thought it feels like a lifetime
Ive known you all alone
My eyes have been open
Wandering the streets
Always looking never seeing
what is right in front of me
For a long time Ive been hollow
like a bell that makes no sound
A conversation more than shallow
Lift my feet right off the ground
Ive been wondering just when
I might give myself a chance
To feel something, just anything
another warm hand
Ive been sleeping away my days
Not wondering why it was
That everytime I awoke
Being here is just not enough
Ive grown tired of searching
for all the right things to say
Ive got tired of wondering
How my life got this way
Lately Ive come to notice
That I dont feel so alone
And the nights are growing quiet
I finally feel home
Ive begun to laugh
feel the smile on my face
Just feeling like myself
may be enough for me to stay
