Angel Olsen
The Waiting
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I need you to be the one
I need you to be the one
I need you to be the one
