Hey! You could spend your life waiting! it's all about missed chances or things that happened you forgot. what? anything you've ever done, its been worth it, right? in the end, you could've spent your life waiting. if it happens, let it happen.

lyrics

i used to dream that i saw you in the clouds
when you weren't around and the days were long
and the nights were drunk but filled with songs
i kept my hands busy with the trench coat on
still looking out for paradise but there's nothing out there
but the deep blue skies
hallways that are filled with regret
what you can want you don't what you don't want
you can't forget

Hey! You could spend your life waiting

the world is lost and it's hard looking up
the game is bought and they won't give it up
everything that's good is being thrown from the back of the train
there's pirates waiting on a foreign shore
but we can't really see them so we're not really sure
its a long way from from freedom but no one's got the balls to change

Hey! You could spend your life waiting

i was riding high on a medical rush when i fell flat broke
on my first big crush
like a peasant boy i badgered her with words
till she took me in and taught me a verse
it was everything that a game should be
just a winner, a loser, just her and me
now i'm older and i know as much
but i never forget that first real touch

Hey! You could spend your life waiting

she walks along in a golden dream
with flowers in her hair and a silver ring
all the boys in the park wanna hear her sing
since that warm summer night in 1963
she's still there in a mystical way
when the wind blows by you can hear her say
that a song just ain't no song
without a singer

Hey! You could spend your life waiting

in the night when the still moon speaks
while they lavish you in oils, pull the weights from your feet
now your fast and your form flies free to the places
that you go when you know that you just can't be
and there's nobody there
just you and the sea
and it calls you down for one quick swim
but you hear the waves laugh just as they pull you in

Hey! You could spend your life waiting

the lines are drawn and there's no going back
and some see the light while others see the crack
but they're both just waiting on a big payday
cuz a satisfied mind always walks away
and it don't really matter what the other folks say
you just try and make it square
try and play them just like you're fair

Hey! You could spend your life waiting
