[Verse 1]

I've been waiting for the hurting to stop

I've been waiting for the punchline to drop

Anytime I hear the music we played

I dissolve into a puddle of rain

I've been playing down the way that I feel

I've been hoping that I don't make it real

I've been waiting at the edge of a dream

To jump and fly and find my beautiful wings

[Chorus]

Been waiting for the right time to come

To put the best dress back on

To catch a favourite song

And to find my way home to your love

[Verse 2]

I've been hovering around like a ghost

In all the places gone away, left unspoke

I've been playing down them penny arcades

Celebrating what a big win I've made

I've been following the river back home

I keep finding out I'm accident prone

I was gonna write a gratitude list

Just got to work out my resentment to it

[Bridge]

And I'm thinking 'cause it gets to me

Perhaps there's nowhere else that I will ever be

I'm wondering, yeah, it seems to me

That there's nowhere else that I would rather be

And if I could be anywhere, I'm right here by your side

If there was another now, another place and time

If I could be anywhere, I'm right here by your side

[Verse 2]

I keep waiting for the hurting to stop

I've been waiting for the punchline to drop

I've been waiting 'til forever had come

Before I knew it, it had already come and gone

I've been waiting on a beautiful dream

Forgiving everyone that I've ever been

While I'd been playing down them penny arcades

I went and found a way to rise up and sing

[Chorus]

Waiting for the right time to come

I put the best dress back on

I caught a favourite song

And I danced my way home to your love

Oh, I found my way home to your love

[Outro]

And if I could be anywhere, I'm right here by your side

If there was another now, another place and time

If I could be anywhere, I'm right here by your side

I've been waiting

I've been waiting

I've been waiting
