A warm October day finds me
Perched on the 21st floor
Of an apartment on the Upper West Side
With the park in my eyes
And my future before me
And if this is all I'll get from you
Then it's still more than I had expected
I'll place this love in your hands
The first chance that I get
You can take it or leave it
I know how many men have died trying
But I blocked both my ears and deny ever hearing it
Madison I never thought I'd get past your front door
This is all I've waited for
Just listen
(Just promise me you'll listen)
An early November day finds me
More awake than I want to be
I don't think I've slept for years
Excited for the chance of this possibility
And if this is all I get from you
Then it's still more than I had expected
Or so I'll keep telling myself
Madison I never thought I'd get past your front door
This is all I've waited for
Just listen
Madison I'm a nervous wreck
But I could be so much more
When this is all I've waited for
Just listen
And I know that I shouldn't count on things I don't know
Even though, that's what faith is
Or so I've been told
But it's just that now
You've got me wanting more
Madison I never thought I'd get past your front door
This is all I've waited for
Just listen
Madison I'm a nervous wreck
But I could be so much more
When this is all I've waited for
Just listen
Just promise you'll listen
A cold December day finds me
Still waiting...
