You had the best intentions
And I tried to just stay settled
But I couldn’t hold my tongue
And I’ve seen inside this city
We’ve sown our seeds in concrete
And they’ll never know what it is to grow
But I couldn’t stay
We walked on words we burned together
Into silence lost forever
And if I wait
I’m holding out for dedication
But flawless futures never had me in mind
I want to see the ocean
Time flies when we go swimming
But my feet were still a beat behind
And it’s true, this time won’t falter
It’s love that can’t take longer
The city keeps me down from bigger skies
And I couldn’t stay away
We walked on words we burned together
Into silence lost forever
And if I wait
I’m holding out for dedication
But flawless futures never had me in mind
My fingers hold this friction
I felt an old rendition
Of what it is to keep my soul alive
And it’s true, this time won’t falter
It’s love that can’t take longer
The city keeps me down from bigger skies
And I couldn’t stay away
We walked on words we burned together
Into silence lost forever
And if I wait
I’m holding out for dedication
But flawless futures never had me in mind
I couldn’t stay
We walked on words we burned together
Into silence lost forever
And if I wait
I’m holding out for dedication
But flawless futures never had me in mind
