One thought has me turning back
A dozen point the other way
We act upon desire to each a hand for hire
And patience isn't worth the wait
You've got knives in your eyes
You would be happy not to change your mind
I can't defend you truly
When I worry about smoke 'stead of putting out the fire
And if we worked it out
Chances abound, we'd be standing our ground
For no one's better sake
(Better say) goodbye
What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?
Mmm... What are we waiting for?
How faint might that light become
In focus but at miles away?
Although my position just gives you an ignition
Be certain that I know my praise
So is this how it ends?
Oh, with a whimper in the place of a bang
I can't defend you truly
When I worry about smoke 'stead of putting out the fire
And if we worked it out
Chances abound, we'd be standing our ground
For no one's better sake
(Better say) goodbye
We would be friends if we tried again
I'll take second place just to end the race
For no one's better sake
(Better say) goodbye
