I used to write
I used to write letters I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met
By the time we met the times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
But it seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
Ooh we used to wait
Ooh we used to wait
Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
Ooh we used to wait (Still moving through the pain)
Ooh
I'm gonna write
A letter to my true love I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again gonna move through the pain
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
we used to wait
we used to wait
we used to wait
We used to wait for it, We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming, sing the chorus again
We used to wait for it, We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming, sing the chorus againn
I used to wait for it, I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming, sing the chorus again
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
