Elegantly
Kelly, from town's, got a crush on you
Over coffee
I pick your brain all afternoon
Pick up your cold feet
She will never love you like I do
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon
Waiting, waiting, waiting
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Elegantly
I stand poised, waiting for the end
It's staring straight back at me
Tiny little terrors won't get out of my head
Legs keeping me afloat, even in the deepest pits of a shallow love
I know that you're leaving, keep me in undertow
Oh, how you deceive me, this feeling in my bones
I know that you're leaving
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon
I'll swim backstroke to keep from drowning
Nose to the sky, carve your name in the baby blue
And I'll fall asleep to the sounds of the late noon
All of the strangers and all of the foes
Come and stand by the water, where so many froze
And I can't feel my body, I feel all their eyes
But I won't turn to look, keep my nose to the sky
And it's awfully silent, the quiet will ring
In my ears underneath, as I'm starting to sink
And as I see the bottom, it's all I can do
To keep waiting and waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for you
But you're weighing me, weighing me, weighing me further
