Paloma Faith - I Just Wait lyrics

Through the smoke from my cigarette
I see you clearly, jump down off the step
The twinkling in your eyes makes me
Wonder if I’m dead or alive
And I, I just wait

How many clothes you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave ‘em all the time
Spending days together, I just
Can’t help wondering when you’ll be mine

If I could hold your hand, yes I would
Be with you every day, if I could
But my lips are sealed, like they should
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I’m waiting
Behind my smile lies, uncertainty
If you choose a girl, will she be me?
I try to keep my composure today
If I wish too hard
Though you might wish away so I, I just wait

How many clothes you need me to leave you?
I feel like I leave ‘em all the time
Spending days together, I just
Can’t help wondering when you’ll be mine

If I could, hold your hand, yes I would
Be with you every day if I could
But my lips are sealed like they should
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I’m waiting

I hide my face in shadows
So you won't disturb my dreams
I look on you, from a far point
Were beautiful it seems

But, I inch a little closer
And it’s all I want to tread
You disintegrate before me
And from my lovely sleep, I wake

If I could hold your hand
Baby you know that I would
If I could be with you, every day, I could
But my lips are sealed, I won't say a word
Cause time, time, time is ticking away

When you gona open up your eyes and see
That you and I could always be
Put your palm into mine
And stop wasting time

My heart is breaking, without you
I don’t wana live another day
And tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I’m waiting
