Give me a dollar until I am dead Paint the whole sky blue and red Count out the days until tomorrow I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the rains to fall Stop the car just to yell at the trees Close your eyes so you can feel the breeze Write down your history so that you aren’t forgotten I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the leaves to fall Line up your books in all the wrong orders Put on tinted lenses for the city in different colours Call your brother’s voicemail just to hear him again I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the towers to fall Burn up old certificates for the fun of it Eat a hundred chocolates for a golden ticket Watch every blockbuster here in town I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the tides to fall Whisper your wishes across the ocean Trace your crop circles out in the open Three letter words are hardly important I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the hammer to fall Break the hourglass to hold the grains Run after the last train until your chest heaves Write down your last words on wilted flowers Search for the den where the old fox hides Out in the sun, you couldn’t be happier Oh if someone’s listening If anyone cares I’ll miss my own funeral If it means you’ll be there Cause I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for your *** Waiting Waiting Waiting

Do things slowly, I'll watch
Give me a dollar until I am dead Paint the whole sky blue and red Count out the days until tomorrow I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the rains to fall Stop the car just to yell at the trees Close your eyes so you can feel the breeze Write down your history so that you aren’t forgotten I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the leaves to fall Line up your books in all the wrong orders Put on tinted lenses for the city in different colours Call your brother’s voicemail just to hear him again I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the towers to fall Burn up old certificates for the fun of it Eat a hundred chocolates for a golden ticket Watch every blockbuster here in town I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the tides to fall Whisper your wishes across the ocean Trace your crop circles out in the open Three letter words are hardly important I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for the hammer to fall Break the hourglass to hold the grains Run after the last train until your chest heaves Write down your last words on wilted flowers Search for the den where the old fox hides Out in the sun, you couldn’t be happier Oh if someone’s listening If anyone cares I’ll miss my own funeral If it means you’ll be there Cause I’ll be waiting Waiting Waiting for your *** Waiting Waiting Waiting
