I used to write
|
I used to write letters, I used to sign my name
|
I used to sleep at night
|
Before the flashing light settled deep in my brain
|
|
But by the time we met, by the time we met
|
The times had already changed
|
So I never wrote a letter
|
I never took my true heart, I never wrote it down
|
So when the lights cut out
|
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown
|
|
Now our lives are changing fast
|
Now our lives are changing fast
|
Hope that sonething pure can last
|
Hope that something pure can last
|
|
It may seem strange
|
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
|
But what's stranger still
|
Is how something so small can keep you alive
|
|
We used to wait
|
We used to waste hours just walking around
|
We used to wait
|
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
|
|
We used to wait
|
We used to wait
|
We used to wait
|
|
Sometimes it never came
|
Sometimes it never came
|
Still moving through the pain
|
|
I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
|
I'm gonna sign my name
|
Like a patient on a table
|
I wanna walk again, gonna move through the pain
|
|
Now our lives are changing fast
|
Now our lives are changing fast
|
Hope that something pure can last
|
Hope that something pure can last
|
|
We used to wait
|
We used to wait
|
We used to wait
|
|
Sometimes it never came
|
Sometimes it never came
|
Still moving through the pain
|
|
We used to wait
|
We used to wait
|
We used to wait
|
|
We used to wait for it
|
We used to wait for it
|
And now they're screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"
|
|
We used to wait for it
|
We used to wait for it
|
And now we're screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"
|
|
I used to wait for it
|
I used to wait for it
|
Hear my voice screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"
|
|
Wait for it!
|
Wait for it!
|
Wait for it!
