oh, these endeavors.. pt1

i've been waiting,
for a day much like this one
to come along and say,
c'mon you can build your home here
stay here forever, however long that may be
but there's been many days
much like this one
that have come bearing nothing but empty tanks
for their empty promises

i once met a girl,
said she'd live forever,
that she'd ride on a day much like this one.
but now she's 6 feet closer
to a permanent home than i am,
at the moment,
she said, "i've been waiting"
and i said "me too"
she called me a fool for doing so,
and i said "its cuz i'm waiting for you"

i guess i'll be stuck just pacing,
until the floor is gone,
i'll be waiting for her day
somehow i'll know and it will pay
if she ever rode away
