The Story I've Waited to Tell Lyrics

I can hear you breathe

2AM so softly, oh

My brain's still wide awake

Private moments I've chased

Picture the future and I hope I say

"I still remember the moment I fell

Out there on the stairs and your apartment smell"

Oh, you made me smile and you did it well

What if they knew

This is The Story I've Waited to Tell

What if they knew about you

When you look at me

All my strength becomes weak, oh

My hand fits right in yours

Put these scars in the drawer

You whisper, "we don't need them anymore"

I still remember the moment I fell

Out there on the stairs and your apartment smell

Oh, you made me smile and you did it well

I hope they know

This is The Story I've Waited to Tell

Chapter one takes me back to midnights

Lost in thought, locked my car

Looked up and saw lights

Chapter two there was you in the window

Stolen stares, tattered chairs

You moved in below

Chapter 3 it was me searching for your name

Doorstep, package left

Couldn't help it, I checked

And I'd do it again if I could

If I could…

I can hear you sing

The song I wrote at sixteen, oh (just form your own galaxy)

2008 me cried

Forced out but I survived

I haven't thought about that in some time

But I still remember the moment I fell

Out there on the stairs and your apartment smell

Oh, you made me smile and you did it well

The old me's glad

This is The Story I've Waited to Tell

Grocery bag ripped

Typical me tripped

Two steps up, I messed up

Scraped my knee like I'm five

On your way out

Saw you bend down

Four green eyes so tongue tied

You're still here after all this time

After all this time…

I still remember the moment I fell

Out there on the stairs and your apartment smell

You wake to remind me you were happy to help

Then you say

"This is The Story I've Waited to Tell"

This is The Story I've Waited to Tell
