Angel Olsen - The Waiting lyrics

Here you come along
I take a breath and remind myself
That I too can be strong
Thought I was cool, turns out I'm a fool
Clearly you've proved me wrong
I didn't know what I was
Missing when I was alone

And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
Someone not thinking before they start
Rushing to my door
Someone to run not walk, oh
Someone to sing not talk
Oh, no hesitation at all
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call

Well, I'm lost in my thoughts
They tumble ahead over and over again
Yeah it's true
Just take a look at what's been done to me
I've wasted time to ponder
Here I am now all Alice in Wonder
Partly I do this to myself
But why can't you see? The gesture is small
But know that it means the world to me

Oh, forgive me for wanting, I'm only learning
I've forgiven myself now
There's no returning
I want to be the one who knows the best way
I want to be the one who knows the best way
I want to be the one who knows
The best way to love you

And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
Someone not thinking before they start
Rushing to my door
Someone to run not walk, oh
Someone to sing not talk
Oh, no hesitation at all
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call

I need you to be the one
I need you to be the one
I need you to be the one
