sleepin’ away all the light of the day for far too long it's been wanin'
yesterday we picked up the pace decided the game was worth playin'
we've turned the corner again and again we're back to where we started when the street lights first began fadin' I'm still standing here waitin'
a new beginning only leads to an end repeating again just the way it began my head is heavy from waiting the weight that's hanging there waitin’, waiting
chorus:
I painted you an angel and the devil came to play we stood face to face as strangers we said all there was to say
I painted you an angel and you always had your way from place to place arranged were all your traps and I fell prey
stealin' away without a minute to waste never give up on explaining
say say say your same old games you got me still hesitatin'
it’s the same old story, and you tell it again as if this time it’ll have a new end talikin’ in circles creatin’ a tornado of doubt without saying
just what you mean but I know you can’t Instead of makin’ a choice, you’re doin’ a dance and the show’s too long, not worth staying but I’m still standing here waiting, and waiting
