Annie Waits

Ben Folds · The Best Imitation Of Myself - A Retrospective [2011]

And so

Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits

For a call from a friend.



The same, it's the same, why's it always the same

Annie waits, for the last time.



The clock

Never stops, never stops, never waits.

She's growing old

It's getting late



And so,

He forgot, he forgot, maybe not

Maybe he's been seriously hurt

Would that be worse



Headlights crest the hill

Shadows passing by and out of sight



Woo hoo



Annie sees in dreams

Friday bingo, pigeons in the park



Annie waits for the last time

Just the same as the last time

Annie says, "You see, this is why I'd rather be alone."



And so

Annie wait, Annie waits, Annie waits

For a call from a friend



The same, it's the same, why's it always the same?

Annie waits as the last

Headlights crest the hill

Who will be the one forever more?



Woo hoo



Annie I could be

If we're both still loney when we're old

Annie waits for the last time

Just the same, as the last time



Annie waits for the last time,

Just the same for the last time

Annie waits but not for me.
