The lyrics and production for this song were w...
Rope ends fray when you cut them too strong
Comfort fades when you push for too long
Darkness grows from the smallest of things
From shifty white stares
To soft muted screams
Spent a day with my head in a cloud
Fell through the mist and I didn’t slow down
If I sit and wait for time to pass by
The time that I spent could alter my life
The ugliest things come in packages grand
I mentioned it once and I’ll say it again
If I sit and wait for time to pass by
The time that I spent could alter my life
Could alter my life
If I sit and wait
If I sit and wait
(Oh)
If I sit and wait
If I sit and wait
If I sit and wait
If I sit and wait
(Oh)
If I sit and wait
If I sit and wait
