The Waiting - Angel Olsen

Here you come along

I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong

Thought I was cool

Turns out I’m a fool

Clearly you’ve proved me wrong

I didn’t know what I was missing when I was alone

And now I’m fruitlessly waiting for someone not thinking

Before they start rushing to my door

Someone to run not walk

Someone to sing not talk

Oh, no hesitation at all

Sometimes I need you to be the one to call

Well, I’m lost in my thoughts

They tumbled ahead

Over and over again

Yeah, it’s true

Just take a look at what’s been done to me

I wasted time to ponder

Here I am, oh, Alice in wonder

Partly I do this to myself

But why can’t you see

The gesture is small

But know that it means the world to me

Forgive me for wanting

I’m only learning life

Forgiven myself and now there’s no returning

I want to be the one who knows the best way

To love you

But now I’m foolishly waiting for

Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door

Someone to run not walk

Someone to sing not talk

Oh, no hesitation at all

Sometimes I need you to be the one to call

I need you to be the one
