John Butler Trio - Waited For You Lyrics

Said it once and you know I can say it again
You are the best thing that ever came into my life
So why do I always got to defend you from yourself
Standing guard over slow suicide?

Did you really think that I just compromised?
No, I waited for you, I waited for you
Did you think I stumbled into you
In the dark with closed eyes?
No, I waited for you, I waited for you

I know you could see what I can see
If you just had my eyes
I know I could be what I wanted to be
If I just believed you
You know I know this is just another bad leak

We've got hills to climb
Hills to climb
Hills to climb

Said it once and I know I can say it again
You have a gift as bright as that sun does shine
But to stand in the shadows that you cast on the offense
Can't walk through this blessed life like you were blind

Did you really think that I just compromised?
No, I waited for you, I waited for you
Did you think I stumbled into you
In the dark with closed eyes?
No, I waited for you, I waited for you

Just another lackey tip man and you were my prize
No, I waited for you, I waited for you
I was just a cold night waiting for the sun to rise
Yes I waited for you, I waited for you

I know you could see what I can see
If you just had my eyes
You know I know I could be what I wanted to be
If I just believed you
You know I know this is just another bad leak

We've got hills to climb
Hills to climb
Hills to climb
Hills to climb

Hills to climb
Hills to climb
Hills to climb
Hills to climb

Oh, what do we want to be?
Just what we want is to see
But we're blind
But we're blind

Oh sweet tragedy
Oh, such a pity
Such a crime
Such a crime
Oh
