Waiting For You

I was waiting for you
 Backstage, and in friends' homes
 I was waiting for you
 In the street, and in the night
 I was waiting for you
 Now you're here
 Now you're here
 ♪
 All the time that I let slip by
 I was worrying
 In the end, you found me and
 We were rebuilding
 In the day, and in my mind
 I was waiting for you
 Washing clothes, standing in line
 I was waiting for you
 Like and island, ok, I guess
 Oh, but half asleep
 I recognize my home address
 I was ground and beach
 The air around me was still
 Locked out, still outside
 You re-imagined the story
 You rewrote every line
 ♪
 But I'm still waiting for you
 Start again, in a foreign town
 This is how it is
 Head down
 I wash the dish and I twist the lid
 Are you near?
 ♪
 Are you near?
 
 In a striped shirt
 And a grand tote bag
 I didn't see your ring
 Scan my street, I haven't seen you since
 Were you just visiting
 Like an island, ok, I guess
 Still a third asleep
 I recognize my home address
 I ground my wings
 Standing on love's corner
 Waiting for my ride
 To get your house in order
 They say it must come from inside
 Les années réinventées
 Tu as un tel effet
 ♪
 Tu ne dois pas oublier
 T'és ma sorcière et ma fée
 From every apartment
 A different kind of rhyme
 Not done walking
 I pass so many rhymes
