She waits at windows
Her dreams don't show in color, and she sleeps
For now
But she just waits around
Wishing she could leave, single mothers
In parking lots
This place lets you down easy
She gets up to buy a drink
I notice why when she walks up
There's something calling her, and she says
That she can change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more
Dead leaves, desperate summers
To keep you out
While we hang around in factories
Til we need each other
To discount lives in heavy numbers
To keep you down
If I wait around, maybe she
Might come back to say a line
Not sure you know my name, that's fine
But take me with you this time, and she says
That she can change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more
Go, tonight
I might just see you around
It hurts but I understand
You can find another reason not to stay
And while she's walking away, she says
That she can change for love
And she explains how long she's waited for
She wanted more
And as these days go by
They can't change how long we've waited for
I love this more
