lyrics

(Old Indian music plays)
(Transit sounds)
(Sunil singing in Hindi)

(Sunil)
Means... you put all secrets in a letter, and you kept it open.

(Forefeather)
So this one is to the beautiful aquarius I briefly was acquainted with when I was out east, learning to breathe.
And I know the universe's tendency is towards magnificence, but I'm not quite sure if you live in the same one as me.
I did the best that I could manage in the moment that I wrote you those letters to be candid, and authentically myself,
But I'm a little bitty kitten in the vestige of a lion compared to someone like you if you couldn't already tell.
Yeah, I know I probably said way too much, and I know that words are fleeting.
I probably made you up to be like some product of my dreams.
(And I know that's really not fair to you but-)
And it's ridiculous I know but even so you must have felt that though.
Even the very few words that we exchanged were visceral.
I believe souls can communicate on another level, and so maybe this is mine trying to talk to you from in between-

All that could be,
And what I can see,
In mind's eye,
But you're so far away.
You're so far away.
You're so far away.
You're so far away.

(Alright alright...)

See, you're too far away to be my baby,
But I won't give up on you, no.
I'll reread this letter that you wrote-
Until I receive another one.
If I spend the rest of my life waiting,
I won't have wasted it at all.
'Cause I don't know why, but I know,
That I've found one worth waiting for.

Like I said, I don't even understand why I'm one-hundred percent certain that it's worth it for me to wait up like this.
I know it's crazy, or even ridiculous for me to be waiting this long on something that's as intangible as love is.
But I'm a pretty patient man,
So I'mma just keep chillin' and waiting, and listening.
'Cause even if there doesn't seem a legitimate reason to you for all this patience, I promise that we'll make one.
It takes one moment for somebody to float in to your life and soften your heart open.
And maybe I'm a fool, setting himself up again to get broken, but I'mma hope that mine never closes again.
'Cause I'm a rider. Surfin' on the waves of every emotion they tried to tell me's gonna hurt me.
And you can take it or leave it, but I'll be here to stay, fully confident and comfortable in my vulnerability.

Between all that could be,
And everything a mind's eye can see.
Between the two of us, I know it's alright.
It's okay. I'll either be here waiting,
Or maybe you'll have gotten back to me.
Between all that could be,
And everything a mind's eye can see.
Between the two of us, I know it's alright.
It's okay. I'll either be here waiting,
Or maybe you'll have gotten back to me.

'Cause you're too fay away to be my baby,
But I won't give up on you, no.
...Reread this letter that you wrote-
Until I receive another one.
If I spend the rest of my life waiting,
I won't have wasted it at all.
'Cause I don't know why, but I know,
That I've found one worth waiting for.

If I've found one worth waiting for...
If I've found one worth waiting for...
If I found one worth waiting for...
Have I found one worth waiting for?
If I've found one worth waiting for...
If I've found somebody worth waiting for...
If I've found somebody worth waiting for...

(Sunil)
My first crush was in class nine.
I saw a girl and I got mad.
(Laughter)
(Zac)
You went CRAZY!
(Summer)
Did she talk to you first? Or...?
(Zac)
What happened?
Did it go well?
(Sunil)
That was totally different thing.
That was the first time. I was so afraid to talk to her.
Uhh... for one year, I just saw her from a distance.
I would just go there... "oh my god!!"
(Laughter)
So after one year I proposed a, like, I want to be friends, or something.
(Summer)
And?
(Sunil)
And that was something...
I don't know, I didn't know anything about love, so...
And I was so scared of her.
I mean, we became friends, but it was just like, I could not speak to her.
I was like "Oh what should I say? What should I..." I mean discuss, or whatsoever.
So... tenth, was there after eleventh, and then after than, it was nothing then.
(Summer)
Nothing happened?
(Sunil)
Yeah...
(Zac)
Aww.
The one that got away...
