She was born a thousand miles away from here
And if only I could see here more than twice a year
Then I'd be lucky, I'd have what I want
And I'd be happy to have her with me
And at the time, the wait was just a game we played
The daily phone calls kept the loving flame ablazed
And she was lucky, she'd have what she wants
And she was happy
But there's nothing more real that the feel
The feel of her fingers on my skin
There's nothing more real than the air
And the whisper in my ear
It's hard so sometimes to beat the wait
You get up early, I sleep late
It's the long nights
In which we lose fights
In the waiting game
And it's hard sometimes
You get up so early (I sleep late)
And it's the long nights
In which we lose fights
In the waiting game
She was bound to make a move to get to me
I only felt alive at times when she was here
We were lucky, we'd have what we want
And we were happy, as no one can be
And when she came, we got that lil' place we dreamed
We'd fall asleep not livin' in the wait, sweet dreams
We were lucky, we'd have what we want, and we were happy
But there's nothing more real that the feel
The feel of her fingers on my skin
There's nothing more real than the air
And the whisper in my ear
It's hard so sometimes to beat the wait
You get up early, I sleep late
It's the long nights
In which we lose fights
In the waiting game
And it's hard so sometimes
You get up so early (I sleep late)
And it's the long nights
In which we lose fights
In the waiting game
It's hard sometimes to beat the wait
You get up early, I sleep late
And it's the long nights
In which we lose fights
In the waiting game
