Waiting For The World

from Closer Than The Words by Dearest Raven

/

lyrics

Face first in a handful of glass
You got me hardwired and looking into the past
You want me to say something that will make this thing last
I never said I'd live forever when we sat on the grass
Last summer

We're waiting for the world to turn (around)
We're waiting for the world to burn (down)

Turned tables and a record to catch
It's not a half measure now I'm striking a match
The world is on fire but we're feeling the cold
I never said I'd fight the feeling if we start to get old
Remind me

I watched the sun in the sky
I see the tears that you cry
I never questioned the reason for our resistance
I watched the desert reply
With arms outstretched to the sky
I never questioned the reason for our persistence
I held you closer than skin
Until you saw me again
You never questioned the reason for my existence
You shone like light from the sun
Accepted where it came from
You never questioned the reason for my persistence
