I sit and wait
And then I sit and think again
Maybe now's just not the time for it
But doesn't mean it never will again
And now when I go home
3000 miles without a call
Oh, distance puts minds in frames
And then when I come back, I'll have value on my lips
Cause I know I'm worth more to them
And the sky is grey
And she's walking down to the river again
But she's got a friend
Cause it's been a long time coming
If the road was free then she might still be running
Cause a crack means nothing at all
A bit of character is good for the soul
I tried so hard
Not to fall, but nonetheless
So, I refuse to say this is the end
It took so much just for me to give in
Every second was a blur
I'll never forget what I heard
Faded, I said nothing in return
So, it just can't be a lie
Cause you felt the same as I
Months before it ever came to life
And the sky is blue
And it brings her down to the same old tune
She's hopeful, she knew
Cause it's been a long time coming
If the road was free then she might still be running
Cause a crack means nothing at all
A bit of character is good for the soul
And when I look at you now
Don't see butterflies, just see clouds
Ooh
Would I wait for you now
Cause it's been a long time coming
If the road was free then she might still be running
Cause a crack means nothing at all
A bit of character is good for the soul
