The days were awful lately
They ran on and on
Mistakes are never lightly
And colors hardly run

But now they're all mixed up
And I don't know just what I see
You're over everything
All the lines are skipping free

A moment interrupts me
And I can't find my place
Some voices all around here
But I won't back away

Instead I talk to you
You're so hard to figure out
One minute interview
From next to help breathe it out

It's a hard wait, yeah
Hard wait, yeah
Hard wait, yeah
It's a hard wait, yeah

When every second takes its tour
With every kiss, you kill me more
But I'm here and I decide
So come close and watch me till I die

It's true, I understand too well
This price of touch and go
Still search your awful secrets
That I found out on my own

Come on just give me something
Or let me be left alone
And hide my face in the crowd
Just keeps me moving and moving out

It's a hard wait, yeah
Hard wait, yeah
Hard wait, yeah
Hard wait, yeah

When you've been there for a few at home
'Cause you've been off way too long
And it's too much just to leave again
So you've figured that you'll stay instead

Hard wait, yeah
Hard wait, yeah
Hard wait, yeah
Oh, it's a hard wait, yeah

Just a tear on the falling edge
And in the end, it's just another stretch
To find someone you can understand
Find someone who's got the tact in hand

With every moment, every stance
Every wink and every glance
You get caught up in another night
And you hit me with those hazel eyes
