Waiting

Whenever I remember you and I
So many years since you were by my side
And still my thoughts you occupy
And still your face is frozen in my mind
It’s hard to win, easy to lose
We play a game we cannot choose
As steady as a rocking horse, as subtle as a bruise
I could’ve been the one still with you but something in the way
Brought our private universe into the cold light of day
Just when I have forgotten you that’s when the longing starts
Nostalgia seeps into my head and I realize that I’ve been
Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years
Whenever I’m alone in troubled times
My silent screams, my innocence, my crimes
I wish that you were still here by my side
Without you here the darkness magnifies
It’s hard to win, easy to lose
It’s a lovely game we cannot choose
As steady as a rocking horse, as subtle as a bruise
Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years
I could’ve been the one to love you but something interfered
Took away the innocence and our world just disappeared
Just when I think I’m over you something unlocks the past
Memories pour into my brain and then the longing starts
Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years
We’ve just been
Waiting for all these years
Waiting for all these years
