Lyrics

A Waiting Game

[Verse 1]

Like a moth to a flame

There's a love without a name

You're too close to be so distant

And my song, it never changed

Like the stranded on an island

When there's no turning back

When you're losing

When you're winning

When you're fading into black

[Pre-Chorus]

There are two other times

When the joy it failed

It was long entailed

[Chorus]

I can't love you, I can't leave you

When it's not something you're into

When it feels just like a waiting game

I can't love you, I can't leave you

When it's not something you're into

When it feels just like a waiting game

[Verse 2]

Like a moth to a flame

There's a love without a name

You're too close to be so distant

And my song, it never changed

Like the stranded on an island

When there's no turning back

When you're losing

When you're winning

When you're fading into black

[Pre-Chorus]

There are two other times

When the joy it failed

It was long entailed

[Chorus]

I can't love you, I can't leave you

When it's not something you're into

When it feels just like a waiting game

I can't love you, I can't leave you

When it's not something you're into

When it feels just like a waiting game

Like a moth

When it feels just like a waiting game

To a flame

When it feels just like a waiting game
