[Verse 1]

I got high by the carrier's gate

Warm your shaky palm on the slate

Cause I can't hear you talking to me

When you're resting your head on the arm of my seat

Watching me carving your name on my skin

Let you heal and then tear it again

It may not be the decision you make

[Chorus]

But on my word, I'll be here in a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year, and a day

[Verse 2]

We don't love in a casual way

I grab your arm and you pull it away

Rinse your hair in the sun and the rain

Run my hand through the blood in the drain

It don't counter til you're calling my name

Makin' my light in thе shadow and shade

Maybe we'll find all thе right words to say

[Chorus]

But on my word, I'll be here in a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year, and a day

[Verse 3]

It might seem like I'm running away

Missing a joke and forgetting your name

But I can't see what you want me to see

When you're on my eyes and your hand on my knee

I don't want to burden your day

But you couldn't hear what my heart wouldn't say

And even if we are not gonna change

[Chorus]

But on my word, I'll be here in a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year, and a day

[Verse 4]

We made out by the carriers tree

She took a smile and she pressed it on me

I cannot leave in a moment of grace

I lost my foot when she fell in my grave

And I hear a bird when I'm calling her name

To keep my head in a holier place

When I haunt the decision we made

[Chorus]

But on my word, I'll be here in a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year and a day

In a year, and a day

[Outro]

How long will you leave me waiting

How long will you burn out, baby

How long will you leave me waiting

How long will you burn out, baby

How long will you leave me waiting

How long will you burn out, baby

How long will you leave me waiting
