I’ve Been Waiting

So i’m waiting by a phone for the blessed ring
Like a holy grail for the fisher king
Time is ticking down like a metronome
Rhythm for my brain, and it’s ceaseless scales
I never seem to play them to the beat i hear
Though my heartbeat 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 you need

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 song, in the land of waits
My pen 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 (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 (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
