Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
Waiting (Waiting) in the dirt
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm that shifts the earth
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
Waiting in a world so numb
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm to come
#VERSE
Savannah’s brain was a broccoli crown
Steamed and buttered, with a sautéed frown
Sitting in a ditch, sucking on a cigarette
With besties, Dane and Miguel, waiting for sunset
#PRE-CHORUS
But in the sky above the ditch
No sunset could be seen
Elusive as a wi-fi glitch
No dreams beyond their iPhone screens
#CHORUS
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
Waiting (Waiting) in the dirt
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm that shifts the earth
#VERSE
Miguel’s parents promised him
School is the answer when prospects are slim
But Savannah quipped, “Our future’s dead
Gonna squeeze juice from your tomato head”
#PRE-CHORUS
So, Miguel came daily to the ditch
To wait it out with cigarettes
Felt his fingers start to twitch
No sunset, just sad silhouettes
#CHORUS
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
Waiting (Waiting) in the dirt
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm that shifts the earth
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
Waiting in a world so numb
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm to come
#BRIDGE
Dane felt raindrops on the leaves
That sprouted from his carrot head
Three vegetables in soggy dirt
Green, orange, and tomato red
Their parents had no insights now
Timeless wisdom failed this time
Life changing fast, dark stormy clouds
Flash floods rushed in, no chance to climb
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
Dane pulled Savannah from the mud
They stood by the ditch and all three hugged
The storm had come and they’d survived
But still no sunsets for longing eyes
#CHORUS
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
Waiting (Waiting) in the dirt
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm that shifts the earth
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
Waiting in a world so numb
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm to come
#OUTRO
Waiting in the dirt (Waiting)
For the storm to come
