Original lyrics
ENRed and blue light paints the stage
Guitar echoes through the haze
This bar, another book, another page
But the empty chair was waiting for you
Then you walked in through the crowd
A dark beer
You speak out loud
With only your eyes. I make a sound
And you sat beside me like you already knew my name
The noise just fades, a secret start
Connecting pieces of my heart
How foolish time is, now I see
When someone feels this real to me
Tonight I want the world to wait
It's not too soon, it's not too late
I'm singing words I barely know
You watch my lips
The afterglow
You handed me an invisible microphone
And a new way to feel, a feeling I've never known
How foolish time is, now I see
When someone feels this real to me
Tonight I want the world to wait
Standing here at heaven's gate
The chair wasn't empty
It was waiting
