Steve Lindsley - Waiting For Here

about

This one took awhile. The prompt messed with my mind a bit for some reason. In the end I used some chords from one of my fav Jeff Buckley tunes, "Lover, You Should've Come Over" and the opening two lines as inspiration. Also first time using Logic, which is kind of overwhelming if you've been used to GarageBand.

lyrics

The rain creeps in under the door
Just like it did before
I thought it was fixed
So it wouldn’t do it anymore
And at times it carries with it my tears
Washing away all the fear
And when it does
It tells me that this is all real

I'll wait and see
I'll hold on
The loneliness never sticks around for very long
Dreaming of love
Hope for the best
That comes when you realize this is not a test
And everyone knows
It's just living near
Waiting for here

The light shines through my window pane
Every single day
Without fail
Showing me the way

I’ll hold it down
I’ll keep the peace
Patience isn’t something that comes easily
It's how we live
We get to choose
No matter what they tell you on the evening news
So I'll wait and see
I'll hold on
The loneliness never sticks around for very long
Dreaming of love
Hope for the best
It's what you have when you're not thinking about all the rest
Things are much closer
Than they appear
Waiting for here
