In a nightclub by the bay
Where my old band used to play
Every song I love is pain
I'm waiting for you

On the dance floor, by the stage
It's like a past life takes the reins
Every time someone speaks your name
I'm waiting for you

Waiting for you to come back home
I'm waiting for you to call my phone
I lay on the roof, see you in the stars
Evading the truth in cafes and bars
Still waiting for you

On a sidewalk, names engraved
From a long lost yesterday
On a park bench, drenched in rain
I'm waiting for you

I try to keep cool
I feel like a fool
I slip and slide, I take it all in stride
I try to keep cool
I try to keep cool
I try to keep cool
Keep it all inside

Waiting for you to come back home
I'm waiting for you to call my phone
I lay on the roof, see you in the stars
Evading the truth in cafes and bars
Still waiting for you

Every word of every line of every song
Every song, every song I love is pain

Waiting for you to come back home
I'm waiting for you to call my phone
I lay on the roof, see you in the stars
Evading the truth in cafes and bars
Still waiting for you
