Sixpence None the Richer - I've Been Waiting

so I'm waiting by a phone

for the blessed ring

like a holy grail

for a fisher king

time is ticking down

like a metronome

rhythm for my brain and its ceaseless games

I never seem to play them to the beat I hear



thought my heart beat is a beat that beats so near



so we had a talk last night about the heavy blow

that you dealt in fright you're back against the wall

it was a puzzle piece important to the whole

that I may not find to place within that hole

I never seem to put them in the gaps I see



like a puzzle where the pieces lost to me



Chorus

so I'm changing who I am

'cause what I am's not good

and I know you love me now

but I don't see why you should

and I don't see why you should

no, I don't see why you should



so I drift into the air

like a moth to light

down the boulevard to the coffee shop

in the land of sorrow in the land of wait

I fear is bearing down on this lonely town

I never seem to write them down as good as him



like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in



Chorus

so I'm changing who I am

'cause what I am's not good

and I know you love me now

but I don't see why you should

so I'm changing who I am

'cause what I am's not good

and I know you love me now

but I don't see why you should

and I don't see why you should

no, I don't see why you should
