Wait for It

I’ve been waiting for my ship to come in
I’ve been wondering lately how you’ve been
Hoping for a bit of news
But I never could depend on you
To show me the way back to where we begin
I’ve been drowning on a bitter sea
Coming up as empty as I’ll ever be
Nothing there to ease the fall
When I hear the curtain call
I draw back the blinds on my fantasies
Sometimes you need it
Sometimes you don’t
Sometimes you get it
Sometimes you know you won’t
Sometimes when you need it
You’ve got to wait for it
You’ve got to wait for it
You’ve got to fight for what you need
There’s a light in the distance
I see it every night
It breaks through the shadows
And it shines so bright
Everyone’s staring at it
Nobody caring that it’s just an illusion
No salvation in sight
Sometimes you need it
Sometimes you don’t
Sometimes you get it
Sometimes you know you won’t
Sometimes when you need it
You’ve got to wait for it
You’ve got to wait for it
You’ve got to fight for what you need
