Waiting For Someday

Appears on:

Nothing Stays the Same Way For Long

I drive out to the edge of town
I turn the engine off and watch the water
Here the river's wide and deep
All that water, running on and onwards
I keep having the same dream
Where I let that current carry me
Far away from everything I know
I just think about that feeling
Until I turn the engine on and I drive home

Cause you wouldn't believe
How much time you can waste
Trying to leave
If it's easier to stay
They say a watched pot never boils
Boy, I never even lit the flame
You wouldn't believe
How much time you can waste
Waiting for someday

But time is like that river too
Winding on it's one year then another
It fills your mouth full of excuses
Tells you that you're happy with your lot here
Now I'm standing in my kitchen
Staring out the window
Watching sparrows catching tiny butterflies
Trying hard to listen to the voice down in my heart
The only one that still knows when I'm lying
