If I had one shred of common sense
I would have already left
Don't ask how long I've been waiting here
Yeah, you can probably guessTracing the arc of the hour hand
This clock's incredibly slow
You ask how long I've been waiting here
I think you already know[Chorus]
'Cause I've been hanging out
And counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on
For way too long
You're always worth
The wait though, I guessMeasuring time by the bottle
And I've had more than a few
I'm standing up to get outta here
I'm standing up for myself now
And this is long overdueThere ain't two ways about it
I can't keep letting this go
You ask how long I've been waiting here
I think you already know[Chorus]And the promises
I promise it
You know you're gonna break it
I've been holding on
For way too long
You're always worth
The wait though, I guessWell, I keep hanging out
And counting down
The time that I've been wasting
I've been holding on
For way too long
You're always worth
The wait though, I guessAnd the promises
I promise it
You know you're gonna break it
I've been holding on
For way too long
You're always worth
The wait though, I guess
