lyrics

(sit, sit)
sittin' here waiting for you to call me out
i don't know what to say or what to do

sittin' here waiting for you to scream and shout
but we're not emotional or blue

watching
waiting
sleeping
dreaming

waitin' for a message today
waitin' for a message today
(yiew)

i'll be
waitin' for a message today
waitin' for a message today

(lie, lie)
lying here falling for you swept up in doubt
i don't know what to say or what to do
lying here floating, believing i'm left out
anxious and running for the truth

watching
waiting
sleeping
dreaming

why don't we just say
"i don't wanna talk"
and that could be okay?

i could send a message today
you could send a message today
i could send a message today
or i could just go away

(yiew)

waiting for a message today
waiting for a message today
waiting for a message today
waiting for a message today

(yiew)

waiting for a message today
waiting for a message today-ah
