Lyrics Century - The Mary Onettes

Century

I’m waiting, I’m waiting
For the longest day to come
And there’s nothing but waiting
Cause I know this time things won’t be the way I planned
Like someone who’s aiming
For the days that never come
I’m like someone who never shines at all
But our love is slowly making me recall the years
So what’s in your heart
When you talk about the days when you were young
Now who will lead us in this cold century
What’s in your heart
When you talk about the days when you felt hunger
Who will lead us in this cold century
We’re all that you’re leaving
But you’ll stay for good inside the walls
And forever I’m waiting
To begin the hardest day, the hardest day of all
And there’s gotta be something better
We might have it but all the waiting seems to take it away
And I’ll be something better
Cause I intend to be like you
I really hope, I do
So what’s in your heart
When you talk about the days when you were young
Now who will lead us in this cold century
What’s in your heart
When you talk about the days when you felt hunger
Who will lead us in this cold century
Promise that you’ll wait for me and I shouldn’t hide the tears
Gathering those memories is all that I can do for you
I have never been good at holding back
I have never been good at holding back
