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 clues 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 clues 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 wont disturb my dreams.
I look on you, from a far point,
We're beautiful it seems.

But I inch a little closer,
And it's all I want to take.
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 wont say a word,
'Cause time, time, time is ticking away.

When you gonna 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 wanna live another day.
And tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, I'm waiting.
