Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
[Verse 2]
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out, hold my breath, and wait
Until I shake
[Verse 3]
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
Oh, if only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
[Verse 4]
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today, yeah
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me, yeah
[Verse 5]
But if I had your face
Then I could make it safe and clean
Oh, if only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
Oh, ho, ho
Oh, ho
