I sat a mere two feet from the door I watched, anticipating the knob turn I was expecting to hear the hinges creak Whether it would swing was my only concern How am I to get my life together When I’m just waiting for their return
It’s just something I’m waiting for Please don’t tell me it’s not worth waiting for
I’m just remembering being told when you’re a little older So right now I’m looking for any skin wrinkles Searching my mind for pain in my back and hip Or when my toes curl up into crinkles I see those who’ve gone through it and get jealous They say the star’s actually dying when it twinkles
It’s just something I’m waiting for Please don’t tell me it’s not worth waiting for
The tree’s leaves change colors but refuse to fall The sun shines as brightly as it had before I look at my sleeves and say I want to use you The summer was something I never cared for I’d like the front to escape from the north Because I’ve never seen the world prettier than in Baltimore
It’s just something I’m waiting for Please don’t tell me it’s not worth waiting for
