Lyrics: The Waiting Game

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
