I hate all these games we play and these nights I waste but those eyes you make are laying me bare
You tell me that you are my friend, and then pretend there's more than meets the eye
And we can't keep hiding from the elephant in the room
He's growing bigger and pretty soon he's gonna suffocate me and you
You say: 'wait, wait, wait for me', and wait I did
Waited so long forgot the words of our song the rhythm and the melody too
Someday soon you'll come knocking. You'll find I'm not waiting anymore
The December winds are coming in; she feels their bitter sting and she knows this is it
Says she's feeling lonely tonight, feeling empty inside, drank two bottles of her mother's wine
But this time the alcohol couldn't erase it all, like it always did before
And from the moment she set foot in this small town
Been waiting for her tables to turn, but the spectres from her past are all around
You say: 'wait, wait, wait for me', and wait I did
Waited so long forgot the words of our song the rhythm and the melody too
Someday soon you'll come knocking. You'll find I'm not waiting anymore
The December winds are coming in; she feels their bitter sting and she knows this is it
You say: 'wait, wait, wait for me', and wait I did
Waited so long forgot the words of our song the rhythm and the melody too
Someday soon you'll come knocking. You'll find I'm not waiting anymore
The December winds are coming in; she feels their bitter sting and she knows this is it
