Everybody Waits

lyrics

EVERYBODY WAITS

Every board trustee takes it outta me.
Boredom, third degree,
Replace harmony.

Distance; probably heart grows more fondly.
Makeshift bubbly:
Regrets sent to me.

Everybody waits for some sign
Every lesson learned underline
In the batting cage for lovers
Marking time between the covers
Everybody waits and wonders

When the size of your heart,
Lost for something to start,
Takes a room with a view,
Takes a picture or two…

Motel 6, degree
Flop house memory.
Just in time to see
Regrets sent to me.

Hidden harmony between you and me.
Every board trustee takes it outta me.

Everybody waits for some sign
Every lesson learned underline
In the batting cage for lovers
Marking time between the covers
Everybody waits and wonders

When the size of your heart,
Lost for something to start,
Takes a room with a view,
Takes a picture or two…
