lyrics

Infatuation, we want love to take it's place
you can barely see the difference
when I'm staring at your face

The crumpled pages and crossed out lines
the lists of could have beens
it's the plain and simple fact
that writing these words will never bring them back to you

are you waiting or moving on?
for you, you tighten your grip when you know it's wrong for you
do you wait, or move it along?
do you release that grip when you know it's wrong?

I should never hold my breathe
got to come up for air
you feel that it can't last,
but you'd rather spend your time
choking on the past

I stood there that night, I've waited like this before
you don't know what's coming
and you're never really sure where she may stand

are you waiting or moving on?
for you, you tighten your grip when you know it's wrong for you
do you wait, or move it along?
do you release that grip when you know it's wrong?
