On clearer days I can see the lights
From my bedroom door,
On windy nights I can smell the lake
As it drifts to me from the shore,
The traffic lights silently change
A thousand times a day,
But I'm still waiting, yeah,
I'm still waiting…
[Chorus:]
If my hand could block the sun
Would we ever wake up?
If I turned back all these clocks
Would that be time enough?
I can't remember exactly when
This longing began
But I know it wasn't before
The day you touched my hand.
Laugh and shout in blissful daze
And numbers are exchanged,
But I'm still waiting, yeah,
I'm still waiting…
[Chorus]
So put your hands where I can see them
And shut your mouth,
I know who you are.
In a world void of feeling or heart
I know that we are
The torches in the dark
Let's break this down,
Let's make this count,
Let's leave this one-horse town,
No better time than now
The angels dance like feathers float,
They're here to see and to be seen,
The clock strikes two, the music slows
And each one slowly dons their wings,
Once outside they all pair off
And hand in hand they leave,
But I'm still waiting, yeah,
I'm still waiting
[Chorus]
