[Verse 1]
I want to take time see the world
I want to get lost make sense of it all
Some place free, oh please
I want to take time for my self
Before I make room for somebody else
Oh please, let me
[Pre Chorus]
I'll change when the summer time wind don't simmer my skin
But inspires to fall in love
I'll change when my mind can sleep
And I find no need to rely on someone else
But it's still not the right time
See your tired еyes look up at me
Asking "When's it gonna changе?"
I swore that it would change
[Chorus]
But I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long
And now we gotta face eachother
But we don't want to hurt eachother
And I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long
And I know you won't wait forever
But I don't want to leave you out of fear of being wrong
[Verse 2]
Wish that I'd see in myself
All the good things seen in everyone else
Someone free, oh please
And I wish I could be strong enough
To fix all of the things that went wrong with us
Or set you free, oh please
[Pre Chorus]
I'll change when the summer time wind don't simmer my skin
But inspires to fall in love
I'll change when my mind can sleep
And I find no need to rely on someone else
But it's still not the right time
See your tired eyes look up at me
Asking "When's it gonna change?"
I swore that it would change
[Chorus]
But I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long
And now we gotta face eachother
But we don't want to hurt eachother
And I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long
I know you won't wait forever
But we don't want to hurt eachother
But I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long
And now we gotta face eachother
But we don't want to hurt eachother
And I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long
AndI know you won't wait forever
But I don't want to leave you out of fear of being wrong
An October 2020 Variance article quotes TRACES saying:
