I’ve Made a Career Out of Waiting for You Lyrics by Like Ghosts

2016

[Intro]
So this is how you get to me
A touch of basic chemistry
It's in the way you bite your lip
And suffocate my need to breathe
[Verse 1]
Well maybe you could show me how to let this go
'Cause lately I've been know to get caught up in the details
And baby you're the quite of modern misery
You break me down and have the nerve to act like no one cares
[Chorus]
So this is how you get to me
A touch of basic chemistry
It's in the way you bite your lip
And suffocate my need to breathe
I'm finally letting go of you
There's nothing left to hold onto
I thought that we could make it
But I know
That you will never change
[Verse 2]
Maybe if I found the words you hid so well from me
Then I could find a way to say this is how it's gotta be
So I'm sending your letters in spite of the monster you've become
If one things for certain, I won't stop writing 'til I'm done
[Chorus]
So this is how you get to me
A touch of basic chemistry
It's in the way you bite your lip
And suffocate my need to breathe
I'm finally letting go of you
There's nothing left to hold onto
I thought that we could make it
But I know
That you will never change
[Bridge]
Over and over I replay the days
Back when I gave you the best part of me
And now that you're gone I think it's safe that we say
That we had the world and you threw it away
[Chorus]
So this is how you get to me
A touch of basic chemistry
It's in the way you bite your lip
And suffocate my need to breathe
I'm finally letting go of you
There's nothing left to hold onto
I thought that we could make it
But I know
That you will never change
