In a haze, here I stay
Laying outside in the day
Which drops down low to my beating heart
Swollen by starlight from afar
At some point I realize
The hurt will soon subside
But the yearning will always be
In my destiny
How can I be so sure?
(what I’m waiting for)
Something I may never feel
Hold on to anything that’s real
If it falls apart, if it breaks my heart
It’s what I’m waiting for
And it’s not that hard to see
As it wraps itself around me
It’s kept me blind
But all this time
It’s what I’ve been waiting for
I can see the tulips in your eyes
I can see how much you cry
Through the cracks and traces in your neck
We can’t be done just yet
Go softly now
Look around and see
(what I’m waiting for)
Something I may never feel
Hold on to anything that’s real
If it falls apart, if it breaks my heart
It’s what I’m waiting for
And it’s not that hard to see
As it wraps itself around me
It’s kept me blind
But all this time
It’s what I’ve been waiting for
Thank you so much to everyone that helped me through the point in my life that this song is about. Thank you so much to Ivy for being understanding of my vision for the song, and having the patience to stick with me through the process of writing it. Thank you Elia for designing the artwork out of the kindness of your heart, and being as passionate about the song as I was. Thank you Nik for working hard for over a year on the video, and bringing it to life. And finally thank you to Tyler and Cami for starting Peachboiz, and being the catalysts for this song's creation.
And thank you so much to everyone who believes in me. You make this feel possible<3

I've been playing this any chance I get to visit the beach for years since I found the album around 2016. It always makes it feel like a second home in a way. Thanks for all the memories octo_skull
