In the Waiting

[Verse 1] Childhood dreams, make believe Nothing's gonna break your heart Those who wait soon discover Everything falls apart Baby I was so naive Thinking I could brave the cold Just get me out of here Before we both get too old [Chorus] Tell me why (I’m in the waiting) Why's it gotta take so long (In the waiting for you) Tell me why (I'm in the waiting) Why’s it gotta take so long (In the waiting for you) [Verse 2] Please don't take that part of me I never want to give away Run me through the things we do I just need a reason to stay Far away to a vacant room Where I can still see the shore Close my eyes to a candle burning Knowing you will lock the door [Chorus] Tell me why (I'm in the waiting) Why's it gotta take so long (In the waiting for you) Tell me why (I'm in the waiting) Why's it gotta take so long (In the waiting for you) [Verse 3] Don't disappear, don't leave me here Watching for the curtains to fall Show me how you need me now And nothing else matters at all We’ve been down this road so long Hangin’ on a twisted turn We should be the first to know We're never too old to learn [Chorus] Tell me why (I’m in the waiting) Why's it gotta take so long (In the waiting for you) Tell me why (I'm in the waiting) Why's it gotta take so long (In the waiting for you)
