I worry, I weigh three times my body I worry, I throw my fear around But this morning There's a calm I can't explain The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain, oh By the time I recognize this moment This moment will be gone But I will bend the light pretending That it somehow lingered on, well I got is oh And I will wait to find If this will last forever And I will wait to find If this will last forever And I will pay no mind When it won't and it won't because it can't It just can't (It's not supposed to) Was there a second of time I looked around? Did I sail through or drop my anchor down? Was anything enough to kiss the ground And say I'm here now? And she is here now, oh So much wasted in the afternoon So much sacred in the month of June How 'bout you? And I will wait to find If this will last forever (yeah) And I will wait to find That it wont, and it won't and it won't And I will pay no mind Worried 'bout no rainy weather (yeah) And I will waste no time Remaining in our lives together
