Parson James – Waiting Game Lyrics

Album on The Temple EP

[Verse 1]
I’ve been fishing and can’t catch a bite
I’ve been praying, ain’t seen that light
I’ve been searching, high to the low
I’ve been working, working, working myself to the bone

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my skin starts to crawl
I’m gon’ tear down these walls if I don’t get out
I’ve lost heaven to hell
And I know very well I’m gon’ get it back

[Chorus]
There’s just this waiting game
And I don’t know how to play
It’s enough of a fight staying alive anyway
Yes, there’s this waiting game
And I don’t know how to play
It’s enough of a fight staying alive anyway

[Verse 2]
There’s a voice in my pillow, it’s got it out for me
‘Cause it keeps mumbling, mumbling
All through the night, I can’t sleep
I’ve been patient, oh, a change gon’ come
But that damn clock just don’t stop ticking, ticking, ticking away
That’s the storm

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my skin starts to crawl
I’m gon’ tear down these walls if I don’t get out
I’ve lost heaven to hell
And I know very well I’m gon’ get it back

[Chorus]
There’s just this waiting game
And I don’t know how to play
It’s enough of a fight staying alive anyway
Yes, there’s this waiting game
Oh, I don’t know how to play
It’s enough of a fight staying alive anyway
