he's just a left turn down a wrong street
she's lonely and lost, and they're both waiting
for someone to come along and sweep 'em off their feet.
i wonder how long they'll keep waiting...

'cause this has been years in the making
my heart now is breaking, for you.
and do you know what you're doing,
or is it just pain that you're pursuing?

he's wandering down an empty street
late at night, 'cause no one's waiting up
he's got no where to turn to admit defeat
and he's debating whether to give in or give up.

she's just dodging streetlights
to hide her bloodshot eyes
as she watches the world with a bottle in hand
it's spinning faster and this is getting out of hand

he's just a left turn down a wrong street
she's lonely and lost, and they're both waiting
for someone to come along and sweep 'em off their feet.
i wonder how long they'll keep waiting...

'cause this has been years in the making
my heart now is breaking, for you.
and do you know just what you're doing,
or is pain what you're pursuing?

how long are you gonna keep waiting?
for how long, how long...?
