For Waiting

Sunlight sitting on the corners of your smile It's been a while New hair no wear and tear Would you mind it's a little unfair Arms crossed could you tell that I was lost In the sea of brown and green Into your eyes I'm hypnotized I didn't know they ran so deep So why wait Stare at my feet on the floor Trying to find the words you've been asking for And maybe I'm a little bit shy And maybe someday I'll tell you why But why wait Stay up, sleep in, I'm outside So you can hop in The roads empty, tanks full, just tell me Where you want to go Burn the maps, set them free But please sail close to me Because my arms open, eyes shut I'm blind and it's you I trust So don't wait We sailed away past the levee The breeze is still and the fog is heavy And maybe you're a little bit shy And maybe someday you'll tell you why But why wait Raindrops, snowfalls, sun shines On you and I Like sparkles in the sand A moonlit meadowland No hellos, or goodbyes Just dreams for my lullaby The sea sobs, the willow weeps The wind cries for you and me So why wait
