The Antlers
If You’re Waiting...
[Verse 1]
You stop smiling and I'll stop talking
Hands in your pockets, the stars are out tonight
You tell me something, do I look familiar?
’Cause we met before, but before we never cared
We sit on the subway and wait a while
But neither of us is planning to go home
She went sleeping with the voices creeping
None of the lights of the city can reach us here
Tonight was put together for us, my dear
[Chorus]
Well, if you're waiting for a better story
Something more extraordinary
Then I don't stand a chance
Then I don’t stand a chance...
Alone
[Verse 2]
I'm too tired, it's just too early
I'm taking a train, but I don't know where it's taking me
I spent the morning trying to stay focused
'Cause I've met the lead from all my stories
You’re not a story, and I knew that before we
Stayed up too late, you made me go to sleep
But I wasn’t tired, at least I didn't wanna be
But I fell asleep ’cause my head was finally clear
Tonight was put together for us, my dear
[Chorus]
Well, if you're waiting for a better story
Something more extraordinary
Then I don't stand a chance
Then I don't stand a chance...
Alone
