D      A G
Moving on
D         A        G
Is moving in slow motion
D            A         G
To keep the pain to a minimal
D           A     G          D  F#m G D F#m A
Weightless, only wait for a fall

Chorus:
G      Bm        A
How long must I wait for you
G     F#m     A
Undone in the evening?
G     Bm    A
How must I wait for you
G      F#m        A
To become what I need?

Holding on, souvenirs
His words inked from birthdays
Goodbye to our empty ruins
Yeah that's when I saw her
Hold me back
Hold me back
All I am
All I am

Chorus:
How long
Before the last dance?
How come he's the one
To let me down?
How come they glow
Different in the evening?
How come they stare
Distant into daylight,

Like it's alright?
Like it's alright?
