I just wait

Through the smoke from my cigarette,
I see you clearly, jump down off the step.
The twinkling in your eyes makes me wonder if I´m dead or alive,
And I, I just wait.
How many clothes you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave ´em all the time.
Spending days together, I just,
Can´t help wondering when you´ll be mine.
If I could hold your hand, yes I would,
Be with you every day, if I could.
But my lips are sealed, like they should,
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, I´m waiting.
Behind my smile lies, uncertainty.
If you choose a girl, will she be me?
I try to keep my composure today,
If I wish too hard, though you might wish away.
So I, I just wait.
How many clothes you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave ´em all the time.
Spending days together, I just,
Can´t help wondering when you´ll be mine.
If I could, hold your hand, yes I would,
Be with you every day if I could.
But my lips are sealed like they should,
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, I´m waiting.
I hide my face in shadows,
So you wont disturb my dreams.
I look on you, from a far point,
Were beautiful it seems.
But I inch a little closer,
And it´s all I want to tread.
You disintegrate before me,
And from my lovely sleep, I wake.
If I could hold your hand, baby you know that I would,
If I could be with you, every day, I could.
But my lips are sealed, I wont say a word,
Cause time, time, time is ticking away.
When you gona open up your eyes and see,
That you and I could always be.
Put your palm into mine,
And stop wasting time.
My heart is breaking, without you,
I don´t wana live another day.
And tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, I´m waiting.
I see you clearly, jump down off the step.
The twinkling in your eyes makes me wonder if I´m dead or alive,
And I, I just wait.
How many clothes you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave ´em all the time.
Spending days together, I just,
Can´t help wondering when you´ll be mine.
If I could hold your hand, yes I would,
Be with you every day, if I could.
But my lips are sealed, like they should,
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, I´m waiting.
Behind my smile lies, uncertainty.
If you choose a girl, will she be me?
I try to keep my composure today,
If I wish too hard, though you might wish away.
So I, I just wait.
How many clothes you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave ´em all the time.
Spending days together, I just,
Can´t help wondering when you´ll be mine.

Be with you every day if I could.

But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, I´m waiting.
