Wait

PJ Harvey · Other Songs - PJ Harvey

I thought that if I waited, things might happen

There was no need to move myself, what's happening to me?

I sit around and sit around, my legs are underneath me

Sit around and dream around the things I'm going to be

But I've waited so long

Forgotten what I was waiting for

Waited six long years or more

Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen today, might even happen tomorrow

Everyone is waiting, everyone was sighting

Ways of moving slowly but nobody is moving

I've waited so long

Forgotten what I was waiting for

Waited six long years or more

Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen when you are looking out the window

Might even happen when you are walking down the stairs

All I seem to do is wait

Waiting for buses, waiting for trains

But my bus is always late

All I seem to do is wait

Spend my life anticipating things that will never happen

My God, I've waited so long

Forgotten what I was waiting for

Waited six long years or more

Another minute won't make any difference, at all
