| I wrote the letter in blood red ink to paint the picture
|
| I was trying to get done with the deed
|
| You get what you give and you give nothing else
|
| Well we’re all just sitting waiting
|
| On the bombs to come and take us
|
| So I guess it doesn’t matter how you take it
|
| Take it, yeah
|
| I’d wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
|
| But not forever
|
| I’d wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
|
| Well, I was sitting on a park bench out in the heat
|
| Couldn’t get myself to even look away from my feet
|
| Thinking the story’s complete
|
| You kept your hands where I could hold em
|
| Kept your eyes both dark and gleaming
|
| Here’s the thing, I think the whole time I was dreaming
|
| I’d wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
|
| But not forever
|
| I’d wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
|
| Take it in your stride, take it in your stride, you don’t have to cry
|
| Take it in your stride and you won’t have to hide away
|
| I’d wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
|
| I still think we’re all okay
|
| How come what you want and what you get
|
| Always seem to be two different things? |
| Woah
|
| I’d wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
|
| Not forever
|
| I’d wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
|
| Yeah, yeah |
