How long am I waiting for?
Hope draws me in, I ain't lost yet
Beyond that open door
A haunted a past I can't forget
But I can't wait, it might close
Blacked out on my bedroom floor
Now I'm awake, sweat runs cold
Devil on my shoulder keeping score
Beyond that door
There's so much I can't change
But I can't stay the same
I've been burning at both ends for what seems like forever
So strike a match or put me out into the night
I'm giving up the ghost
I'm leaving it behind
I've spent my whole life waiting for better weather
Pick up the pen or the knife, I never can decide
If I should write down my life, or fuckin suicide
I'm walking back on my words, I'll never speak again
Of all the shit I said, and everything we did
This summer came and went and its still in my head
Bridges that I should have built, I burnt them all instead
There's so much I can't change
But I can't stay the same
I've been burning at both ends for what seems like forever
So strike a match or put me out into the night
I'm giving up the ghost
I'm leaving it behind
I've spent my whole life waiting for better weather
The leaves change color, just like you
Another lie but you saw right through
And now the hourglass won't spin back
Another winter til we're burning in the black
The leaves change color, just like you
Another lie but you saw right through
And now the hourglass won't spin back
Another winter til we're burning in the black
There's so much I can't change
But I can't stay the same
I've been burning at both ends for what seems like forever
So strike a match or put me out into the night
I'm giving up the ghost
I'm leaving it behind
I've spent my whole life waiting for better weather
How long am I waiting for?
Beyond that door
I've spent my whole life waiting for better weather
