Going after the kill

I watched as love ensued

I see your mouth it's a healthy shade of pink
G A Bm A G
But it’s only time that is keeping our bodies from sinking into the ground

What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for
[Verse 2]
D Bm D G
I am a lot like you I see beauty in all
D Bm7

Singing songs to you in your grave

What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting

I'm stuck somewhere between my two most dangerous extremes
[Chorus]
G D G E7 E
Oh what are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for
G D
Oh what are we waiting for
[Outro]

Reasons to call include
Going after the kill
I watched as love ensued
And I lost every ounce of my own free will
I see your mouth, it's a healthy shade of pink
But its only time that is keeping our bodies
From sinking into the ground
What are we waiting for?
Oh, what are we waiting for?
I am a lot like you, I see beauty in all
But how long can we hold onto
This feeling we had just before the fall?
You'll be the hero, and I'll be the victim you save
And we'll come full circle when I find myself
Singing songs to you in your grave
What are we waiting for?
Oh, what are we waiting for?
I'm no good inside this mess
I'm a wild-eyed romantic
And I'm drowning in my carelessness
And even when I'm with you
And we're dreaming our big dreams
I'm stuck somewhere
Between my two most dangerous extremes
Oh, what are we waiting for?
Oh, what are we waiting for?
Oh, what are we waiting for?
