5090 by FAWM: "I’ve Been Waiting"

I’ve Been Waiting

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Sat down outside this morning and wrote this around various lines from an older page in my songwriting notebook. #lyricsonly now. #collaborationswelcome but I’ll probably also set it to music eventually.

Lyrics

V1 The night fell like a curtain
It was just the two of us
The air between our bodies
Waiting on desire
To thrive

PC1 So much to love means more to lose
I’m scared of us together, of feeling this alive

C Willing to perish, ready to fall
Maybe we explode it all
You’re who I’m for
I’m not uncertain anymore
You’re devastating; Hi, I’m starving
I’ve been waiting

V2 I want you more each minute
And the clock is running fast
Your night eyes catch the headlights
They say steer into
The crash

PC2 Bring me your pure and poisoned heart
I wear its beating twin; whatever stones we cast

C Willing to perish, ready to fall
Maybe we explode it all
You’re who I’m for
I’m not uncertain anymore
You’re devastating; Hi, I’m starving
I’ve been waiting

Bridge
Wish I could bottle what makes youth bold
And fill my cup — And drink you up
If you’ve at least got hands to hold,
Blank canvas to unfold,
Could be enough — So, will we touch?

C Willing to perish, ready to fall
Maybe we explode it all
You’re who I’m for
I’m not uncertain anymore
You’re devastating; Hi, I’m starving
I’ve been waiting

No more waiting
