If You're Waiting On Me |
Try’na make a dovetail joint fit tight |
Anything I do I know I must do right |
And while the buzz saws whine |
I paint the fireplugs red |
And while a pale moon shines |
I bite my nails in bed |
All we do is talk about the dreams we share |
Talking while they vanish into thin hot air |
Hey listen, mountains move |
Ain’t there a time frame here? |
Hey, promise must be proved |
Now proving mine this year |
And if you’re waiting on me |
And if you’re waiting on me |
Well if you’re waiting on me |
You’re backing up boys |
Once there was a man that couldn’t think too well |
Spent a lotta time down in a self-made hell |
And every choice he’d choose |
It’d be the wrong damn door |
I’m in his worn out shoes |
But I’m not him no more, no |
And if you’re waiting on me |
And if you’re waiting on me |
Well if you’re waiting on me |
You’re backing up boys |
Graduation day came slow |
Many jukebox years ago |
Gotta graduate more now |
We gotta all learn how |
Floating down the river till the sunset died |
Standing where we shivered in the tugboat’s tide |
Oh what a tide that was |
We had it all right then |
But now it’s gone because |
'Cause things just change, my friend |
You and I know fully well that we’re not kids |
Maybe I don’t know you like I thought I did |
You tell me scarecrow things |
I think it’s crossroad times |
What will tomorrow bring? |
You’d best make up your mind |
And if you’re waiting on me |
Now if you’re waiting on me |
Well, if you’re waiting on me |
You’re backing up boys |
Said if you’re waiting on me |
And if you’re waiting on me |
And if you’re waiting on me |
Said if you’re waiting… on me |
If you’re waiting on me |
You’re backing up boys |
