The Waiting Game

You can romanticize your shortcomings

Ignore your agency to stop

Write a ballad with the details

While skimming off the top

A personality, considering you've been

A little overhonest lately

And you apologize, a dirty clown

You found someone to put your arms around

Playing the waiting game

But it all adds up to nothing

You try and you always justify

Playing the waiting game

When it all adds up to nothing

Playing the waiting game

Do you tantalize or titillate?

Knowing it won't make the grade?

Do you leave it on the table?

And you apologize, emotionally dry

And years go by

You found someone to put your arms around

Playing the waiting game

But it all adds up to nothing

You tried messing with your own design

Playing the waiting game

When it all adds up to nothing

Playing the waiting game

But it all adds up to nothing

Playing the waiting game

And it all adds up to nothing
