Can you take the bullet back?
Change it to a heart attack
My wish, I wonder, could it be true?
Sick fits form a former home,
Misfits under mistletoe.
One year spent waiting,
Waiting for you.
This isn't what I wished for.
This isn't what I knew.
What can waiting do?

Date: fall 1989.
Daydream of a valentine.
I couldn't wait to be added alone.
Jump forward to twelve years time:
Those dreams and a sad decline.
I'd just thought leaving
would leave it alone.
This isn't what I wished for.
This isn't what I knew.
What can waiting do?

What did we prove?
Didn't we make this all come true?
(I just keep hanging on for more.)
Didn't we choose?
(I just keep on waiting at the door.)
How did we lose?
Where did we let the reigns go loose?
(I just keep hanging on for more.)
Didn't we choose?
(I just keep on waiting at the door.)
How did we lose?
Didn't we let the reigns go loose?
(I just keep hanging on for more.)
What if we knew?
(I just keep on waiting at the door.)
How did we lose?
Didn't we let the reigns go loose?
