Scott Owens & Craig Owens - Waiting

I've been waiting since yesterday
For some sign of life from you
I've been hoping that you'll come through
With the things you said you'd do
I wore a hole in the carpet pacing
Trying to figure out why I'm always waiting
For the phone to ring-and the meet-up
But I'm beat up by the screaming silence in my room

I've got this constant ringing in my ears
Maybe it's the 80's all the blues and the beers
Or maybe it's just wishful thinking
Hoping that my phone will ring
I took a walk in the afternoon
Tried to convince myself that constant change is here to stay
But now I'm back it's just me and the phone
Waiting since yesterday

Don't make promises you can't keep
It rolls off your tongue and you're standing knee-deep in it
All those times and dimes I wasted trying to get to you
Trying to get to you
I'm through waiting for you

All this time I thought you were kidding
Now I'm taking another long walk weather permitting
And the creek don't rise cuz it's raining like hail
Pounding on my rooftop like a hammer on a pail
Maybe I'll take that gig in Beijing
See how many stones make up the Great Wall of China
Or maybe I'll just wake up to the break-up words I never heard from you
I never heard from you
