[Verse 1]

Stand in a crowd, screaming, anybody out there

I feel so alone, you look around for something

That medicates the pain, but refuse to come back home

You let it swallow you up, it's never enough

You're looking around for the cure, the revelation's the same

The pleasure and pain won't get you back to where you were

[Chorus]

You forgot your first love

When you sleep, are you dreaming of me

When you hear, is it words that I speak

When you love, is it my heart that beats

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

When you look, is it me that you see

When you fall, is it my hands that bleed

When you hurt, don't you wanna be free

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

[Verse 2]

You have a choice, it's easy, I won't make it for you

But how could you resist, stay in the mud

Depraved, keep walking by yourself

Or return to what you've missed

I don't care how far you're lost, I'll cover the cost

Just give me back your prodigal heart

With no conditions defined, forever

'Cause I just want you back inside my arms

[Chorus]

You forgot your first love

When you sleep, are you dreaming of me

When you hear, is it words that I speak

When you love, is it my heart that beats

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

When you look, is it me that you see

When you fall, is it my hands that bleed

When you hurt, don't you wanna be free

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

[Verse 3]

I've been watching all the roadways home

Anticipating that you'll come alone

Seeing your face will be like breaking dawn

And you know I'll be running out to meet you

And everything will fall away

The earth and stars will celebrate

But for now all I can do is wait

You're so close but still so far away

[Chorus]

'Cause you forgot your first love

When you sleep, are you dreaming of me

When you hear, is it words that I speak

When you love, is it my heart that beats

I'm waiting, I'm waiting

When you look, is it me that you see

When you fall, is it my hands that bleed

When you hurt, don't you wanna be free

I'm waiting, I'm waiting
