Short Crush Lyrics by Bend

Riverfriend

2013

Are you waiting on me? 
Are you waiting on me? 
Can you see the irony in that? 

Let’s go out a couple nights. 
One feels up while the other bites. 
Let’s do what feels all right. 
Let’s not fight. 

Let’s take drugs, let’s fake hugs, 
Let’s got lost in each other’s arms. 

I was waiting on the back of the hill, 
Now I’m staring at the highway 
And I’m trying to stand still, but... 

Are you patient? Oh please. 
Are you patient? Are you free? 
Can you see? How obscene is that? 

I was counting on deceit of the day 
To create a proper feeling of 
What I was gonna say, 
But I would make a false report 
That said I never trusted strangers 
And my crushes weren’t short. 

Used to think life was bad, 
Always wanted what others had. 
Never could understand. 
But I’m older now, 
So they say. 
Wonder how I’ll feel today. 

I was waiting on the back of the hill, 
Now I’m staring at the highway 
And I’m trying to stand still. 
But I’ve been waiting on my life to be this way, 
So I’ll tell you where I live 
If you never go away. 
Do you think this is the reason that I’ve been falling apart 
And do you think that there are people 
Who will take you as you are? 
Do you think that that’s a feeling people have? 

Come on now, make a scene. 
Come tomorrow I’m coming clean. 
Cross my heart, hope to die. 
Always wonder when next I’ll lie. 
Let’s take drugs, let’s fake hugs. 
Let’s get lost in each other’s arms. 
Let’s make love. 
Let’s make love.
