Seasons change, and I tried hard just to soften you The seasons change, but I've grown tired of tryin' to change for you Because I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you Because I've been waiting on you I've been waiting on you As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter washed whats left of the taste As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter craved whats lost Crave whats all gone away People change, even though some people never do You know when people change They gain a piece but they lose one too Because I’ve been hanging on you I’ve been waiting on you Because I've been waiting on you I've been hanging on you As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter washed whats left of the taste As it breaks, the summer awaits But the winter craved whats lost Crave whats all Crave whats all gone away 'Cause I've been waiting on you
