"The Waiting Game" lyrics

You can romanticise 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 over honest lately

And you apologise
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 tantalise and titillate
Knowing it won't make the grade?
Do you leave it on the table?

You apologise
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 try
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
