lyrics

I've been all of the things I never asked of you
How did you call it from the day I arrived?
The innocent moment you decided to keep me for a while
Did you consider me at all?
I hope I found a way into it
When you set your focus on a goal, where do I come in?
Is that enough? Babe, that you wanted it bad enough?
I've had enough. Is our moment up? Or is this moment never better?
The bet for me comes down to all the ways to get better
The way you see we come to call
Opportunity never knocks and I bet it all on the hope I hold in you,
The way to see us take it all for our own
I've been practicing it all along
I've been waiting
All the ways that I've wanted it forever
How could I have known?
Is that enough?
All the ways that you held it up high as the only important thing
I'm still waiting to say—
