XXIV

spent my whole life searching
been left out on the sidelines
because I can't see
what's right in front of me


spend all your time dreaming
laying awake at night feeling
like you're alone in the world
but you're not the only girl
who's waiting for life to begin
who's waiting for warmth
who's waiting for love
who's waiting for him
tell me now, how do you get through
day after day, feeling so blue
you're lost in your head
you're lost in the clouds
you don't know how to get down
but you can see the storm clouds forming
you're waiting for life
you're waiting for warmth
you're waiting for love
you're waiting for him
