Waiting patiently for me
I see that you haven’t lost faith yet
Someday our wishes will all come true
see if the falling stars would like to dance
the romance a tragedy provides
see if the falling stars would like to dance

Breaking her will so she’d believe in me
I hurt her I hurt her
breaking my will so I’d believe in her
There, but for our grace, we go

The shadowy hand that held the light is gone
and wisdom can’t be memorized
I see the changing has already begun
See if the falling stars would like to dance
the romance a tragedy provides
see if the falling stars would like to dance

Breaking her will so she’d believe in me
I hurt her I hurt her
breaking my will so I’d believe in her
There, but for our grace, we go

Waiting patiently for me
I see that you haven’t lost faith yet
Someday our wishes will all come true
see if the falling stars would like to dance

Breaking her will so she’d believe in me
I hurt her I hurt her
breaking my will so I’d believe in her
There, but for our grace, we go

This is not empathy
this is not love you’ve known before
this is not destiny
this is not fate immovable

This is not empathy
this is not love that you’ve known before
this is not destiny
this is not fate immovable

In all the years you’ve known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth

This is not empathy
this is not love that you’ve been taught
this is not destiny
It’s not the fate that you had fought

In all the years you’ve known me
my ship has never run a ground
now shallow waters leave me low
Letters fall to earth

[- – -]

Then when you came to me
It was not love you had in mind
that was not destiny
that was not fate, we both were blind

Then when you came to me
It was not love you had in mind

How do you save someone from drowning
when you’re not swimming very strong yourself?
There’s glitter on my television, ghosts on my radio
Glitter on my television, ghosts on my radio

I try to convince there’s things left undone
That the adventure’s just begun
There’s glitter on my television, ghosts on my radio
Glitter on my television, ghosts on my radio

Would it make you happy
If I lied and told you
It’ll all be easy
And everything is alright?

Lost in a fog you might wander from your path
but a lifted haze might show a sadder truth
Stuck in a haze is safer
why are you so beautiful and distressed?
Stuck in a haze is safer
why are you so beautiful and distressed?

Would it make you happy
If I lied and told you
It’ll all be easy
and everything is alright?

Waltzing like when she was alive
She can’t find the other side, Angel
Although translucent she’s still smashing
Stay an’ dance with me a while, Angel

She can’t live distraught
Propellered hearts and varicose thoughts
She can’t live distraught
Propellered hearts and varicose thoughts

As I crumble to and fro
I strive to learn what children know, Angel
Travel lightly when you’re in denial
Can I be king for just a while, Angel?

She can’t live distraught
Propellered hearts and varicose thoughts
She can’t live distraught
Propellered hearts and varicose thoughts
