lyrics

The Waiting Game - Red Falcon / White Lightning

Spent three hours waiting for you to show/
Hummin' and a hawin', lookin' out the window/
Watchin' raindrops race to the sill of the frame/
Wish to God that I had never heard of your name/
And I won't go out to get the telephone/
All the words to be exchanged are already known/
You'll explain you never meant to make me play/
The waiting game

Been sittin' on the fence 10 years somehow/
Foolishly figured you'd be here by now/
Well, some things in life happen naturally/
While others come as easy as pulling teeth/
I guess you're a stubborn habit i can't quit/
Though it's taken quite long time to admit /
I can pull you all I like, but you still remain/
A waiting game

I got the blues and then you got me/
We doubled down on a red thirteen/
All good Gamblers know when to hold'em/
Aren't they supposed to know when to up and fold 'em?
I keep holding' on to a hopeless dream

I've been waiting on something, surely never to show/
I've been procrastinating like a seasoned pro/
You know some things in life happen to repeat/
Passing by the fools walking half asleep/
And they'll claim that they were blinded by the light/
Or that they couldn't see the darkness for the night/
An excuse for every failing, it's all the same/
In the waiting game
