lyrics

It feels so cold
Even though
Summer sweeps my city streets and strangers smile
I've played this game
So long it's a shame
A bitter mind is based once where a gold heart stood
Children laugh
Fall to the grass
Makes me think of days when I didn't check my watch
Breathing slow
When I hear your ring
Jogs me from my hazy brain "hello, hello"

I am waiting on a wire but I don't know why
I'm still waiting on a wire but I don't go

Maybe when
It's fall again
The crispy air and scent of smoke and burning leaves
Will make me dream
Of sweeter things
Just like I did when everyday was a brand new plan
It's so played out
When I talk they shout
We all just want the fleeting fame of this day and age

I am waiting on a wire but I don't know why
I'm still waiting on a wire but I don't go

Hello, hello did you miss me?
I was gone for years without your misery
Hello, hello did you miss me?
I was gone for years without your misery
