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
