lyrics

Waiting Room
©2000 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

I'm battered and busted
This mechanism is rusted
I don't believe anymore
In paperback stories
Extolling love's glories
I only know nothing's sure

CHORUS
I hope that we can find the ones
We're meant to love someday
And never be lonely
I hope that we can find a way
To rise above this place
To a room that's always waiting

I wrote you a letter
Because I thought it was better
That we only exist on the page
There's nothing more daunting than
A sore lack of wanting and
Before the first glance it's too late

CHORUS

These humble contortions
And willful distortions
Deliver a promise unfilled
If only "we" meant "two"
But soon we'll forget who
Lost in a world that won't stand still

CHORUS

Always waiting
Always waiting
Always waiting
