Waiting For Your Sun

WAITING FOR YOUR SUN

Intro — low, restrained

Come on—

Let it pour.

Verse 1

You strike a match, then curse the flame

Pull me close, then dodge the blame

Leave your shadow in my bed

With every honest word unsaid

Your headlights fade across the glass

I count the seconds as they pass

You always leave before the dawn

And I keep waiting when you're gone

Pre-Chorus

I hear your thunder on the line

But lightning never makes you mine

Chorus

I'm standing in the rain

Waiting for your sun

Soaked down to the bone

From the damage you've done

You swear the clouds will break

Swear I'm still the one

I'm standing in the rain

Waiting for your sun

Post-Chorus

Let it pour, let it pour

I won't wait forever anymore

Verse 2

Your promise hits me like a chain

Cold as steel and twice the pain

You call it love, then cut and run

Leave me reaching for the sun

You wear regret like cheap perfume

Sweet at first, then fills the room

I used to breathe you like the truth

Now I'd rather choke than beg for you

Pre-Chorus

I hear your thunder on the line

But lightning never makes you mine

Chorus

I'm standing in the rain

Waiting for your sun

Soaked down to the bone

From the damage you've done

You swear the clouds will break

Swear I'm still the one

I'm standing in the rain

Waiting for your sun

Bridge — stripped, then building

I won't beg the sky to clear

I won't build a home from fear

Bring the dawn or bring the end

But don't call leaving love again

No more "someday"

No more "soon"

No more circling your moon

Breakdown

Let it pour

Let it pour

I won't wait forever anymore

Final Chorus — full power

I was standing in the rain

Waiting for your sun

Now I'm warm inside the fire

Of the woman I've become

You can keep your empty sky

And every place you run

I was standing in the rain—

Now I am the sun

Outro

I am the sun

I am the sun

You kept me waiting—

Now I am the sun
