  • I've been waiting on your conscience to call
    And maybe hear your little voice on the phone
    And now I'm treading water
    It's getting hotter
    The ocean is much bigger than me
    And now I need it more than ever before
    I'm just knocking in my head on your door
    And you know I still feel it
    And I still need it
    This bottle's full now

    Sitting here waiting on you, Goddammit!
    Packing up, my hotel room, I planned it
    Different in my head when I thought of love
    I'm looking at the shimmering stars above
    And everyone reminds me of you, and
    Everything that we've been through, damn!
    Everything is coming back to me tonight

    I've been running in circles for days
    And you know me, it's never ever going away
    But then you keep me waiting
    I won't change it for any other girl in the World
    And I could but every time I think it's the end
    You show up fucking everything in my head
    Then I'm treading water
    Falling faster
    This bottle's empty

    Sitting here waiting on you, Goddammit!
    Packing up, my hotel room, I planned it
    Different in my head when I thought of love
    I'm looking at the shimmering stars above
    And everyone reminds me of you, and
    Everything that we've been through, damn!
    Everything is coming back to me tonight Writer/s: DWAYNE CHIN-QUEE, JACOB HEMPHILL
