Watching The Waiting Lyrics - Tween - Wye Oak

When I made my plan 

There were some things for which I did not account 

I could not have seen myself here 

In a place I've been before 

Seeing everything all over 

As if I could really know 

As if I am sure 

And you say it's about time 

But you know I'm not used to having enough 

And there is nowhere I need to go 

And there is nothing left to do 

And I am sitting watching myself 

Watching you 

Watching the waiting 

When I move to stand 

My muscle memory is keeping me up 

Real memory is also similarly cruel 

To see his face in front of me 

Out of the blue, for no reason at all 

And I don't suppose 

I'll be able to tell him how sorry I am 

But like the guard settles in for another long night 

I keep watch for a danger and I may not recognize 

But I keep my eyes open 

All I know is this 

There are times when, to me 

You seem to glow from within 

And I wonder how this moment could possibly be 

And how much was of my choosing 

And what chose me 

And I couldn't care less 

When it all adds up 

And I feel I am closest to what I really am 

And there is nowhere I need to go 

And there is nothing left to do 

And I am sitting watching myself 

Watching you 

Watching the waiting
