right here waiting

90s baby, black coffee, and Redbone
Pretty brunette boy with oldest child syndrome
You may have forgotten all the things you said and plans we made
But I won't
No, I won't

You made a bit of a mess of things but I'll choose to
Blame my headache on the weather instead of you

October, for the first time
Doesn't feel like new beginnings
It's all over, how dare you
I used to love this time of year
You'd think that I would know better
Instead of imagining things
If you change your mind (like you won't do)
I'll be right here waiting

I'll be right here waiting
I'll be right here waiting

A friend said your name and I lost the little air I had
The fire burned but for a moment I was warm again
And you won't see it, but I'll wait like a kid
With my nose pressed to the glass
Like you're ever coming back (ha)

Just a boredom cure, a closed bedroom door, playing pretend
If that's all it was, I hope that you got what you wanted

October, for the first time
Doesn't feel like new beginnings
It's all over, how dare you
I used to love this time of year
You'd think that I would know better
Instead of imagining things
If you change your mind (like you won't do)
I'll be right here waiting

I'll be right here waiting
I'll be right here waiting

Pretend your lacklustre apology
Came with flowers and the words "I'm sorry"
Fighting to keep my place on your list of priorities
My hands are tired
You went cold so I stopped trying
But I'm so tired of being left behind

October, for the first time
Doesn't feel like new beginnings
It's all over, how dare you
I used to love this time of year
You'd think that I would know better
Instead of imagining things
If you change your mind (like you won't do)
I'll be right here waiting
October, for the first time
Doesn't feel like new beginnings
If you change your mind (like you won't do)
I'll be right here waiting

I'll be right here waiting
I'll be right here waiting
