While You Wait For The Others

While you wait for the others
To make it all worthwhile
All your useless pretentions
Are weighing on my time.

You could beg for forgiveness
As long as you like
Or just wait out the evening
You'll only leave me dry
Yes, you'll only leave me dry.

So I'll ask you kindly to make your way
And what was there?
The perfect glare
We all fall through.

While you wait on the answers
That I'll pretend to find
Keeping up with emotions
Still occupies our time.

You could hope for some substance
As long as you like
Or just wait out the evening
And always ask me why
Yes, you'll only leave me dry.

So I'll ask you kindly to make your way
And what was left?
The perfect glare
We all fall through.

And all we want, want, want, want, want, want, want, want
Want, want, want, want, want, want
Want, want, want, want
Want, want, want.

And what was there?
And what was there?
And what wasn't there?
