The Waiting (Live)

He has never felt so over-thrown

When he was living in a house alone

But now she's living with him all the time

It's so much harder when they say goodbye

Everyday seems compromised

As another busy day comes rolling by

She hides little messages around the bedroom

And puts her clothes on in the dark

And now he wakes up to the sound of her keys

Jingle in the front door as she leaves

There's an empty space beside him

And another busy day starts rolling by

So he ties a ribbon on a box, signs his name across the top

Turns some music on and puts some flowers in a pot

Leaves a message on her phone

Saying "baby when you're home,

I've got a little plan to spend some time on our own.

You know, I am just trying to say

That you are worth the waiting everyday"

She says she really wants to be a nurse someday

Reads a thousand books and puts them all away

She starts to write a essay on the things she's learned

Before she has to stop again and run to work

Little frustrations grow inside

As another busy day goes rolling by

So he ties a ribbon on a box, signs his name across the top

Turns some music on and puts some flowers in a pot

Leaves a message on her phone

Saying "baby when you're home,

I've got a little plan to spend some time on our own.

You know, I am just trying to say

That you are worth the waiting everyday"

So he ties a ribbon on a box, signs his name across the top

Turns some music on and puts some flowers in a pot

Leaves a message on her phone

Saying "baby when you're home,

I've got a little plan to spend some time on our own.

Cause you, you are worth the waiting everyday!"

I know the weight of the world is sitting right upon your shoulders

I can't wait until we're home and all of this is over

We'll be looking back on all the years we're going through

Give a smile, raise a glass, say the things we'll never do again

And I am just trying to say

That you are worth the waiting everyday"
