We Used To Wait

I used to write
I used to write letters
I used to sign my name.

I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing light settled deep in my brain.

But by the time we met
By the time we met the times had already changed.

So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart, I never wrote it down.

So when the lights cut out
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown.

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last.

Now it seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive.

We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown.

We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
We used to wait
I'm still moving through the pain.

I'm gonna write
A letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name.

Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again
Gonna move through the pain.

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last.

We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
We used to wait
I'm still moving through the pain
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait.

We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now they're screaming "sing the chorus again! "

We used to wait for it.
We used to wait for it.
Now we're screaming "sing the chorus again! "

I used to wait for it
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming "sing the chorus again! "

Wait for it!
Wait for it!
Wait for it!
