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
