lyrics

Waiting for You

Look, there's the pair of fuzzy dice I gave you
Hanging from the rear view mirror of your car
I swore after the last time I'd forget you
But I'm so embarrassed cause, well, here we are

I staked out your old red brownstone
Yeah I'm back and I'm all alone
Cause I lack the next chapter
I'm waiting for you

Thunder's balling up like a fist in the gut of the afternoon
My plastic sunglasses are practically melting in my hair
A photo of his stupid face is pasted on your dashboard
Do you really think I care

Your fire escape is starting to shine
As the rain weaves a cape so fine
For you
Waiting for you

Chewing on ice cubes staring at a wall of water
It's a constant struggle not to struggle
Not to strangle the moment to make it mine
To not really care if you will come up the steps
If you got my message, if you care
Not to care if you care, not to care if you care
To keep looking at the leaves

To hold fast but not grip too hard
To let go but still play my part
I suppose that's why I don't say
Just what I want to say
I'm waiting for you
Waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
Why am I waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
Why am I waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
