i've waited hours for this
i've made¹ myself² so sick
i wish i'd stayed
asleep³ today

i never thought⁵ this day would⁶ end
i never thought tonight could⁷ ever⁴ be
this close to me

just try to see in the dark⁸
just try to make it work
to feel the fear⁹ before you're here
i make the shapes come much too close
i pull¹⁰ my eyes out
hold my breath¹¹ away
and wait until¹² i shake¹³...

but if i had your faith
then i could make it safe and clean
if only i was sure
that my head on the door was a dream

i've waited hours for this
i've made myself so sick
i wish i'd stayed asleep today
i never thought this day would end
i never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

but if i had your face
then i could make it safe and clean
if only i was sure that my head on the door was a dream to
