Strings

I'm the star of a book you wrote before Your career was illustrious Though only renters and college kids skimmed through Skipped through to the end to see if you Got help from someone there up on high Who may have heard the beacon's faint cry: "I could do things for you, I can do things for you" All the reasons I always dreamed of school I just dropped out and left them there It was always the fabulous stain on On my reputation for opening doors And selling arts and crafts from the floor Lately I notice much no more We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you I'm not like you, I'm done restating Teen beat fears of bright lights fading You learn to wean yourself off of it [I'm not like you, I'm done restating Teen beat fears of bright lights fading] You learn to wean yourself off of it Did some orphan's lament get heard one night Pinball through moons and time Wind through some harmless darkness, bounce off stars And knock into some warm waiting arms? Or was it just some time served, some proof Until we learned some obvious truth? We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you I'm not like you, I'm done restating Teen beat fears of bright lights fading You learn to wean yourself off of it I'm not like you, I'm done restating Teen beat fears of bright lights fading You learn to wean yourself off of it We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you We've been waiting for you
