Volts

Too many times I've fooled and forced myself
Into being good for someone else
But all I'm left with is a trail of broken hearts
And all the time I wasted on dead ends
Where I had to bare the consequence
And while they ride off I'm just left here in the dark

I was a little bit caught up
In trying to find
That perfect moment
When the stars aligned
But I know, but I know, but I know, but I know
When you look in my eyes

You're someone worth waiting for
Cuz when I'm with you it's good as gold
You're something I've chased before
But running around was getting old
I wanna wake up in your arms
When the sun comes up
Now I'm letting down my guard
Guess they call that
Someone worth waiting for
You light up the sky like a million volts

So we both stayed out late for the midnight show
When you kissed me deep and held me close
And then you threw me down in the backseat of my car
And then you ran your fingers through my hair
And all the things that once made me so scared
Seem to drift away each time you're taking charge

I was a little bit caught up
In trying to find
That perfect moment
When the stars aligned
But I know, but I know, but I know, but I know
When you look in my eyes

You're someone worth waiting for
Cuz when I'm with you it's good as gold
You're something I've chased before
But running around was getting old
I wanna wake up in your arms
When the sun comes up
Now I'm letting down my guard
Guess they call that
Someone worth waiting for
You light up the sky like a million volts

I can take the good, I can take the bad
If what we've built is meant to last
I'm sick and tired of playing safe
Let's take a leap of faith

You're someone worth waiting for
Cuz when I'm with you it's good as gold
You're something I've chased before
But running around was getting old
I wanna wake up in your arms
When the sun comes up
Now I'm letting down my guard
Guess they call that
Someone worth waiting for
You light up the sky like a million volts
