I've Been Waiting lyrics

So I'm waiting by a phone

For the blessed ring

Like a holy grail

for a fisher king

Time is ticking down

like a metronome

Rhythm for my brain

and its ceaseless scares

I never seem to play them to the beat I hear

Though my heart beat is a beat

that beats so near

So we had a talk last night

About the heavy blow that you dealt in fight

Your back against the wall

It was a puzzle piece

important to the whole that I may not find

You placed within the hole

I never seem to put them in the gaps I see

like a puzzle where the pieces lost you and me

[Chorus:]

So I'm changing who I am

'cos what I am's not good

And I know you love me now

But I don't see why you should

and I don't see why you should

No I don't see why you should

So I drift into the end like a moth to light

Down the boulevard to a coffee shop

In the land of song

In the land of wait

Beat is bearing down on this lonely town

I never seem to write them down as good as you

Like I some where lost the keys that let me in

[Chorus (extended):]

So I'm changing who I am

'cos what I am's not good

And I know you love me now

But I don't see why you should

So I'm changing who I am

'cos what I am's not good

and I know you love me now

Though I don't see why you should

and I don't see why you should

No I don't see why you should
