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
