Lyrics for The Waiting

Here you come along I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong Thought I was cool Turns out I'm a fool Clearly you've proved me wrong I didn't know what I was missing when I was alone And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for someone not thinking Before they start rushing to my door Someone to run not walk Someone to sing not talk Oh, no hesitation at all Sometimes I need you to be the one to call Well, I'm lost in my thoughts They tumbled ahead Over and over again Yeah, it's true Just take a look at what's been done to me I wasted time to ponder Here I am, oh, Alice in wonder Partly I do this to myself But why can't you see The gesture is small But know that it means the world to me Forgive me for wanting I'm only learning life Forgiven myself and now there's no returning I want to be the one who knows the best way To love you But now I'm foolishly waiting for Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door Someone to run not walk Someone to sing not talk Oh, no hesitation at all Sometimes I need you to be the one to call I need you to be the one
