lyrics

Is this your song?
It’s been a long time since you backed in
Your smiling face could lead you any place
Pick your destination
Take your time if only for awhile
No, pack it up, it’s not enough for now

Are you even home?
I called to tell you things have changed
But you went away to feed your disgrace
And your ticker tape aspirations
And so we see you wave to the crowd
It’s your big day
And will the traffic break up long enough for me?

So look to the sky
There’s a spot you forgot to white out
And I won’t be deceived again
or hang around and fight
and I’ll be waiting now for last year

Could I get you to stay?
Could we ever hope to be all right?
I only let you in so we could just begin
To wrap it up and say it’s over
But take your time, I know that I am wrong
No, I’m better off the sooner you are gone

And so we see you wave to the crowd
It’s your big day
And will the traffic break up long enough for me?

So why did you go?
Didn’t you know I’d change my mind?
And it’s a given that your spotlight leads you blind
So look to the sky
There’s a spot you forgot to white out
And I won’t be deceived again
Or hang around and fight
And I’ll be waiting now for last year
(I called to tell you I’ll be fine)
And I’ll be waiting now for last year
(You left your exit polls to remind me)
And I’ll be waiting now for last year
