Every time that I fall for that same old trick
|
I punish myself with the same old stick
|
I want to believe it so badly I deceive myself
|
Forgetting reality
|
Ignoring the fact that you're altogether someplace else
|
Forgetting reality
|
|
But I swear here and now
|
The truth shall be mine
|
And surrender to my prayer
|
The weapon is time
|
|
I'll play your waiting game
|
I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
|
I'll play your waiting game
|
I'm gonna win this game my friend
|
And forget you in the end
|
|
Your memory seems like a living thing
|
I never know if I'm imagining
|
I look at your face and I know that's impossible
|
Forgetting it's just a dream
|
Now I'm hearing your voice saying anything is possible
|
Forgetting it's just a dream
|
|
And I still can't say why
|
You keep invading my mind
|
But this uncontrolled fixation
|
Grows weaker with time
|
|
A cloud of unknowing floats between you and me
|
A trickle of love still flows between you and me
|
But we live in different galaxies
|
|
But I swear here and now
|
Your heart will be mine
|
You'll surrender to my love
|
My weapon is time
|
And your wall of resistance
|
I will slowly undermine
|
While your uncontrolled fixation
|
Grows stronger with time
|
|
I'll play your waiting game
|
I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
|
I'll play your waiting game
|
I'm gonna win this game my friend
|
And I'll be with you in the end
|
|
I'll play, yes I will
|
