Wait for the Sun

Chorus

Hold onto that light

Hold onto that light

Don't let it go

You are stronger than the shadows you know

Fire burns in the basement

Fire burns in the basement

Wait for the sun

The race has barely even begun

Verse 1

Gentle eyes hide a jagged lie

Telling everybody that you feel just fine

Giving everything until your knuckles turn white

Bleeding out but staying polite

Fifteen years of keeping secrets under the bed

Wishing for a brand new head

Pre-Chorus

Wars won in the quiet

Fights fought in the riot

Every silent step you take

For every single heart you break

Leading you

Feeding you

Helping you find your way

Chorus

Hold onto that light

Hold onto that light

Don't let it go

You are stronger than the shadows you know

Fire burns in the basement

Fire burns in the basement

Wait for the sun

The race has barely even begun

Post-Chorus

Keep moving on

Moving on

Oh-oh

Verse 2

Maybe a lawyer in a sharp black suit

Chasing after truth and some bitter fruit

If the vision fades or the colors turn gray

That soul of yours won't wash away

Dancer in the hall

Paintings on the wall

Nothing was a mistake

Bridge

Dear fifteen if you're crying

Dear fifteen if you're trying

Success is just courage in a disguise

Looking through a pair of wiser eyes

Better paths

Harder laughs

Every scar proves you survived

Chorus

Hold onto that light

Hold onto that light

Don't let it go

You are stronger than the shadows you know

Fire burns in the basement

Fire burns in the basement

Wait for the sun

The race has barely even begun

Post-Chorus

Dreaming on

Smiling on

Believing on

I am waiting here for you
