Lyrics

I Will Wait

[Verse 1]

There was a time

When all I thought that I wanted

Was someone to touch me

Like I thought everyone was touched

What did I know, what was I thinking

What did I know, what was I thinking

I remember

There was someone that I wanted

Now she's a face at the reunion of '66

What did she know, what was she thinking

And did she know that I convinced myself

I couldn't survive

[Chorus]

Sometimes you have to wait

You're pushing but that stone won't move

And you hesitate to give yourself away

[Verse 2]

There was a time

When all I thought that I needed

Was someone to tell me

I was making the perfect move

What did I know, what was I thinking

What did I know, what was I thinking

All I wanted was a holy exemption

I had a license to tell everyone where it's at

What did they know, what were they thinking

And did they know that I would only hear

The things I desired

[Chorus]

So I would wait

I'm pushing but that stone won't move

And I hesitate to give myself away

[Bridge]

And there was a time

When all I thought that I wanted

Was to live in a world

Where everyone knew what love is for

What do I know, what am I thinking

Nobody knows that the hour is getting late

[Outro]

So I will wait (I will wait for it forever)

I will wait (I will wait for it)

Though I know the hour is getting late

I will wait (I will wait for it forever)

I will wait, I will wait (I will wait for it)

Though I know the hour is getting late

I will wait,  will wait (I will wait for it forever)

I will wait, I will wait (I will wait for it)

Though I know the hour is getting late

I will wait (I will wait for it forever)

I will wait, I will wait (I will wait for it)

Though I know the hour is getting late...
