Do you see the world in different colors? Do you see the world in black and gray? Alone in your thoughts, how many others Have stood where you stand, where you stand today I've stood where you stand, but oh can you Wait for me now? To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The air's running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now The promise of safe return I delivered But the ocean is wider than I first guessed When roads disappeared I followed the rivers But somehow got in over my head So a deep breath I'm taking Wait for me now? To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The air's running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now A lost dream of what could have been A house on fire, a tangled web The key turns to find the locks have changed In time to hear the back door slam A sound that to this day I can't forget The colors drained to black and gray Oh, wait for me now To take off this crown To break all these vows Don't you know? Wait for me now The air's running out Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now
