I've been counting cracks
in the sidewalk stone
Tracing shadows
where the streetlights have shone
Every hour a heavy sigh
Every minute a whisper dry
 
I've been waiting all along babe
I've been waiting for you
Through the quiet
Through the thunder
Through the nights torn in two
I've been waiting all along babe
For the moment
we'd break through
 
The clock hands laugh
But they don’t move fast
Dreams play tricks
Bringing up your past
Every echo's your name
Every breeze fans the flame
 
And I keep asking the sky
Why the stars never fall
And I keep holding my breath
Though I’ve lost it all
 
I've been waiting all along babe
I've been waiting for you
Through the stillness
Through the chaos
Through the skies painted blue
I've been waiting all along babe
For the moment you'd choose
 
I built a bridge
out of broken days
Watched it sway
Watched it blaze
Every splinter’s a vow I made
To stay here
Unafraid
