"I'll Be Waiting" lyrics

I'll Be Waiting

Hold me closer one more time
Say that you love me
In your last goodbye
Please forgive me for my sins
Yes, I swam dirty waters
But you pushed me in
I've seen your face under every sky
Over every border and on every line
You know my heart more than I do
We were the greatest, me and you

But we had time against us
And miles between us
The heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
But now the sky
Has cleared and it's blue
And I see my future in you

I'll be waiting for you
When you're ready
To love me again
I put my hands up
I'll do everything different
I'll be better to you
I'll be waiting for you
When you're ready
To love me again
I put my hands up
I'll be somebody different
I'll be better to you

Let me stay here for just one more night
Build your world around me
And pull me to the light
So I can tell you
That I was wrong
I was a child then
But now I'm willing to learn

But we had time against us
And miles between us
The heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
But now the sky
Has cleared and it's blue
And I see my future in you

I'll be waiting
For you when you're ready
To love me again
I put my hands up
I'll do everything different
I'll be better to you
I'll be waiting for you
When you're ready
To love me again
I put my hands up
I'll be somebody different
I'll be better to you

Time against us
Miles between us
Heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
Time against us
Miles between us
Heavens cried
I know I left you speechless
I know I left you speechless
I'll be waiting

I'll be waiting for you
When you're ready
To love me again
I put my hands up
I'll do everything different
I'll be better to you
I'll be waiting for you
When you're ready
To love me again
I put my hands up
I'll be somebody different
I'll be better to you
