c. Summer 2015. Written mostly while camping at Shades State Park

lyrics

I get so used to feeling lonely
It’s hard not to go on feeling lonely
But I’m coming, wait for me
Wait for me.

A gal gets used to relying on herself,
Placing high hopes on an even higher shelf
But I’m reaching up and it’s coming down---
Wait for me
Wait for me.

A bright beautiful star was shining
In the dark night
It was pining for another star to hold hands with
So she could close her eyes
Knowing there’d still be a light
For others like her to recognize.
But she did not find one.

She built a fort out of the doors that had closed on here
And lit a candle to pretend a friend for comfort
And there she stayed…

Til you saw her heart
through the armor she had built
And now you’ve found me
by following the light I’d spilled.
And I just hope that by the time that I unlearn all these old skills
you haven’t gone.

‘Cause I get so used to feeling lonely
it’s hard not to go on feeling lonely
But I’m coming, wait for me
Wait for me.

A gal gets used to relying on herself,
Placing high hopes on an even higher shelf
But I’m reaching up and it’s coming down---
Wait for me.
Wait for me.
