Waiting

anyone you ask will tell you that she's over me

and that I've been waitin' around for too long

everything I want is standin' right in front of me

but crucial times are great for me getting it wrong



every time I see you I fight for words

what's it like to be you? I've only heard

I can't stand here waitin'--thinkin' 'bout your smile

all the lights are fadin' on the miracle mile

I can't stand the colors that remind me of the past

how could I be so stupid to think this would last?

I can't stand here waitin.'



everybody's wondering what the hell's come over me

everybody's over-thinking way too much

getting knocked around like this they say it's good for me

people at the door say "look but you can't touch."



every time I see you I fight for words

what's it like to be you? I've only heard

I can't stand here waitin'--thinkin' 'bout your smile

all the lights are fadin' on the miracle mile

I can't stand the colors that remind me of the past

how could I be so stupid to think this would last?

I can't stand here waitin.'
