Wait Lyrics

Under a blackened sky
far beyond the glaring streetlights 
sleeping on empty dreams
the vultures lie in wait.
You lay down beside me then
you were with me every waking hour 
so close I could feel your breath. 


When all we wanted was the dream 
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields 
the new born hope unjaded by their years. 

Pressed up against the glass 
I found myself wanting sympathy 
but to be consumed again 
oh I know would be the death of me 
and there is a love that's inherently given 
a kind of blindness offered to deceive 
and in that light of forbidden joy 
oh I know I won't receive it. 

When all we wanted was the dream 
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields 
the newborn hope unjaded by their years. 

You know if I leave you now 
it doesn't mean I love you any less 
it's just the state I'm in 
I can't be good to anyone else like this. 

When all we wanted was the dream 
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields 
the newborn hope unjaded by their years...
