I've Been Waiting - Sixpence None The Richer

So I’m waiting by a phone

For the blessed ring

Like a holy grail

For a fisher king

Time is ticking down

Like a metronome

Rhythm for my brain and it’s ceaseless games

I never seem to play them to the beat I hear

Thought my heart beat is a beat that beats so near

So we had a talk last night about the heavy blow

That you dealt in fright you’re back against the wall

It was a puzzle piece important to the whole

That I may not find to place within that hole

I never seem to put them in the gaps I see

Like a puzzle where the pieces lost to me Chorus

So I’m changing who I am

'cause what I am’s not good

And I know you love me now

But I don’t see why you should

And I don’t see why you should

No, I don’t see why you should

So I drift into the air

Like a moth to light

Down the boulevard to the coffee shop

In the land of sorrow in the land of wait

I fear is bearing down on this lonely town

I never seem to write them down as good as him

Like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in Chorus

So I’m changing who I am

'cause what I am’s not good

And I know you love me now

But I don’t see why you should

So I’m changing who I am

'cause what I am’s not good

And I know you love me now

But I don’t see why you should

And I don’t see why you should

No, I don’t see why you should
