09. I've Been Waiting

Divine Discontent
by Sixpence None The Richer



 

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

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

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



Behind the Song:
''I've Been Waiting' is a song about failure in relationships.' - Matt Slocum (Sixpence None The Richer)
