"I Will Wait" lyrics

"I Will Wait"

There was a time
When all I thought that I wanted
Was someone to touch me
Like I thought everyone was touched
What did I know, what was I thinking
What did I know, what was I thinking

I remember
There was someone that I wanted
Now she's a face at the reunion of '66
What did she know, what was she thinking
And did she know that I convinced myself
I couldn't survive

Sometimes you have to wait
You're pushing but that stone won't move
And you hesitate to give yourself away

There was a time
When all I thought that I needed
Was someone to tell me
I was making the perfect move
What did I know, what was I thinking
What did I know, what was I thinking

All I wanted was a holy exemption
I had a license to tell everyone where it's at
What did they know, what were they thinking
And did they know that I would only hear
The things I desired

So I would wait
I'm pushing but that stone won't move
And I hesitate to give myself away

And there was a time
When all I thought that I wanted
Was to live in a world
Where everyone knew what love is for
What do I know, what am I thinking
Nobody knows that the hour is getting late

So I will wait (I will wait for it forever)
I will wait (I will wait for it)
Though I know the hour is getting late

I will wait (I will wait for it forever)
I will wait, I will wait (I will wait for it)
Though I know the hour is getting late

I will wait, will wait (I will wait for it forever)
I will wait, I will wait (I will wait for it)
Though I know the hour is getting late

I will wait (I will wait for it forever)
I will wait, I will wait (I will wait for it)
Though I know the hour is getting late...
