Anxiously I Wait Lyrics

The street lights are flickering

Like the expression on my face

Wisping away

A Sinking feeling underneath the surface

An unchangeable bulb but you could screw it on tighter

Every moment that you're here my light shines brighter

But when you go the light begins to flicker

Again and again when will the dark get lighter

Every time you leave the lamp fills with doubt

And the smile on my face begins to peter out

I'm sorry if I've been a burden

That was never my intention

Just needed some attention

Just needed some direction

To bask in your perfection

A sliver of your affection

To fix my imperfections

Constantly grappling with the fear

Of losing the light I hold dear

But I don't worry when you're here

It's the only time the path is clear

But I must say

I anxiously await

The end of the day

When I can feel normal again
