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)
