The waiting

there's no straight road
tonight to take me home
to lay me in my lover's bed
there's no good way
tonight to make me okay
no voice to calm
this rainy head

it's not the road
it's not the miles
or being alone
that tell my heart
she should be aching
the danger's in
the danger's in
the danger's in the waiting

i see my life well rehearsed
and it bores my mind
it's like a show
i've seen a thousand times before
i see my life in reverse and it scares me inside
I see all the ways
i should be giving more

it's not the road
it's not the miles
or being alone
that tell my heart
she should be aching
the danger's in
the danger's in
the danger's in the waiting

the night is warm but lonely
i should be crawling in
you're fast asleep but i am waiting

the days are so unholy
you make me right again
the night is long
i'll be waiting
