You can romanticise
your shortcomings,
ignore your agency
to stop
Write a ballad with
the details while
skimming off the top
A personality,
considering you've
been a little
over-honest lately
And you apologise,
a dirty clown
You found someone
to put your arms around
Playing the waiting
game
But it all adds up
to nothing
You try, and you
always justify
Playing the
waiting game
When it all adds
up to nothing
Playing the
waiting game
Do you tantalise
and titillate
Knowing it won't
make the grade?
Do you leave it
on the table?
And you apologise,
emotionally dry
And years go by
You found someone
to put your arms around
Playing the waiting
game
But it all adds up
to nothing
You try messing
with your own design
Playing the
waiting game
When it all adds
up to nothing
Playing the
waiting game
But it all adds
up to nothing
Playing the
waiting game
And it all adds
up to nothing
