(Waiting for you)

(Waiting for you)

I wanna be with you in the nighttime

I wanna feel your touch on my skin

I wanna feel your arms wrapped around me

Don't wanna feel scared to let you in

Wherever you are, you're a light in the dark

I'll follow the stars to wherever you are

'Cause I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you

'Cause I do: I adore you, I adore you

Even when we're broken and our world's apart

You'll always be in my heart

'Cause I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you

Waiting for—

Waiting for you (For you)

Waiting for you

Waiting for you (For you)

Waiting for—

Waiting for you (For you)

Waiting for you

Waiting for you, for—

I wanna give you love for a lifetime

I wanna be the one that you call

Even through all the good and the hard times

I'll hold you through rise and the fall

Wherever you are, you're a light in the dark

I'll follow the stars to wherever you are

'Cause I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you

'Cause I do: I adore you, I adore you

Even when we're broken and our world's apart

You'll always be in my heart

'Cause I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you

Waiting for you

Waiting for you (For you)

Waiting for you

Waiting for you (For you)

Waiting for you, for—

Even when we're broken and our world's apart

You'll always be in my heart

'Cause I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you

Even when we're broken and our world's apart

You'll always be in my heart

'Cause I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you

Waiting for you
