Wait from Young Volcanoes by Zac Clark

i’ll stay up all night wondering if my timing’s right,
and if it ever was or will be.
i’ll toss and turn.

swear i’ll keep your heart safe here from the start,
something he never thought was necessary.
ah, but you live and learn.

i know you fear if we talk that my voice cuts out,
if you let me in i might let you down.
your fears are not unfounded but they’re only fears,
and you can’t just expect perfection to appear..
but if you plan to,

then i’ll wait as long as you think it will take.
i’ll wait for you.

and i will hold my breath
past every cemetery and over every bridge,
as if it ever helped.
i’ll try my best. you know, for you, i’ll try my best

to wait as long as you think it will take. i’ll wait for you.

lips like a desert.
hands like sieves.
heart like a trapdoor.
when you push me, it gives.

i'll try until i get it right. and i’ll wait as long as you think it will take.
