Wait Forever Lyrics

Another summer day has come to an end

As I sit and think of things I did and didn't do

Another day all alone I mostly spent

As an opportunity passed to reach out to you

All day I wait and I wait,

But nothing ever really comes through

This is how I spend these washed-out days

Just floating around patiently for you

I've been sitting by the window all my life

So please just give me the answer

Will it have to be until the day I die

For you, will I have to wait forever?

All I need is someone to trust and not just a friend

But as time goes by, that becomes hard to find

And I'm afraid that when I jump off the deep end

It will be into the waves of an unfulfilled life

You say you work in mysterious ways

And the answer will surely come to me

But I'm starting to fear this was all some cruel prank

As I watch the shifting autumn leaves

I've been sitting by the window my whole life

So please give me the answer

Will it have to be until the day I die

Because I don't want to wait forever

Have you ever tried to skip a stone in the Boise River?

Well, every time I try it just falls straight into the pond

No matter how many attempts are made I just give up and surrender

I know other people can do it, but I'll just keep on being wrong

That's why I'm growing more restless day by day

As the cold winter air starts to settle in

And now the pond is just a silver frozen-over lake

So I'll just have to wait until summer to try to skip stones again

I've been sitting by the window all my life

So please give me the answer

Will it have to be until the day I die

Because I just can't wait forever

But I'll keep sitting by this window my whole life

Just hoping that someday there will be an answer

And if it happens to be the day I die

I guess I'll just have to wait forever
