where did you go my friend at a quick little pace
I brave the flashing lights for you
a dizzy blur of faces and far off places
just to catch a glimpse among fools

I'm just a simple man with a simple little life
making plans with a pretty ghost who never talks back
my words bounce off your shiny screen and
fall on your waiting list while others still scream

waiting too long for this
waiting far too long for this
waiting too long for this
waiting far too long for this

please don't cut your wrists too deep
this joy is just a temporary sleep
soon you'll wake up alone to me
I'm still waiting for you to leap
I open my mouth to speak
but it's just a buzzer beep

but where did all of your time go
but where did all of your time go
where did it all go
where did it all go

when all your fame is gone and you're standing in the rain
I hope we can go back again before this all came
wash a friendship that was stained all black
passing time and never looking back to when I was

waiting too long for this
waiting far too long for this
waiting too long for this
waiting far too long for this
