lyrics

I'm doing alright these days
Rearranged my books and bought new clothes
I'm watching the clock tick and the faucet drip
I am wearing my carpet out
I occupy time with this and that
I was waiting for the day you'd come ask me to take you back

But I can't fool myself
I'm going nowhere fast
I can't wait for you
I can't wait for you

The leaves have all turned
And the sky is gray
I haven't heard a word from you
Since the nineteenth of last May
The summer went by
You were nowhere to be found
Your laughter's fading now
By God I miss the sound

But I can't fool myself
I'm going nowhere fast
I can't wait for you
I can't wait for you

I could not help it
I was in love
And I can't just shrug it off
I'm sinking below
I'll just endure it
Serve my time
Pick up the mess you made
When you left me behind

But I can't fool myself
I'm going nowhere fast
I can't wait for you
I can't wait for you
But I can't fool myself
I'm going nowhere fast
The heart knows what it wants
I'll always wait for you
