… I used to writeI used to write lettersI used to sign my nameI used to sleep at nightBefore the flashing lights settled deep in my brainBut by the time we metBy the time we metThe times had already changed
… So I never wrote a letterI never took my true heartI never wrote it downSo when the lights cut outI was lost standing in the wilderness downtown
… Now our lives are changing fastNow our lives are changing fastHope that something pure can lastHope that something pure can last
… It seems strangeHow we used to wait for letters to arriveBut what's stranger stillIs how something so small can keep you aliveWe used to waitWe used to waste hours just walkin' aroundWe used to waitAll those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
… Oh, we used to waitOh, we used to waitOh, we used to waitSometimes it never came (we used to wait)Sometimes it never came (we used to wait)Still moving through the pain
… I'm gonna write a letter to my true loveI'm gonna sign my nameLike a patient on a tableI wanna walk againGonna move through the pain
… Now our lives are changing fastNow our lives are changing fastHope that something pure can lastHope that something pure can last
… Oh, we used to waitOh, we used to waitOh, we used to waitSometimes it never came (we used to wait)Sometimes it never came (we used to wait)Still moving through the painWe used to waitWe used to waitWe used to wait
… We used to wait for itWe used to wait for itNow we're screamingSing the chorus againWe used to wait for itWe used to wait for itNow we're screamingSing the chorus againI used to wait for itI used to wait for itHear my voice screamingSing the chorus again
… Wait for itWait for itWait for it
