I've been waiting for a tonic

To blunt the blow of what's been coming

I've made my peace with being honest .

Letting you know , letting know

I tell myself it just felt right

How could I know , how could I know?

I found myself above the salt

A better man with better faults

Burning blades of weathered grass

Wringing out my weathered hands

I've been waiting

For someone you won't become

Anticipating

The quiet before the rush

I've been chasing

A feeling that never comes

I've been waiting

For someone you won't become .

VERSE TWO :

I've been sipping gin and tonics

To numb the hits as they keep coming

I hit the floor and you keep running

Don't know how to end or where we started , no

I told myself we'd grow old

Like purple palms braced for the cold

i tried , I tried but I can't let go

its like I hold on for the principle , hey

I found myself above the salt

Better 'cause I know my faults

Burning blades of weathered grass

Wringing out my weathered hands

I've been waiting for someone you won't become

Anticipating

The quiet before the rush

I've been chasing

A feeling that never comes

I've been waiting for someone you won't become.

VERSE THREE :

Idling on the fringe , staring at the sun.

Looking back at where I've been , and what I can become

Water sitting on the skin , sulfur in the cut .

Learning how to let it go
