Standing in Line

We shared the world like a private joke
 Laughed our way out of hues and cries
 Inhaled under the Bridge of Sighs
 It's not the way it was
 The weather came you were skating on fire
 And love spilled out like antifreeze
 The ice floes melted in separate seas
 If I was slow to learn
 I will wait for another turn
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been weighing the shape of things to come
 You draw your lines from memory's cage
 I write songs for a jealous god
 Two spoiled kids and a velvet rod
 It's not the way it was
 And I'd pursue you through any hell
 I'd swim upstream 'til I find the source
 Dam the Mississippi and change its course
 If it was up to me
 If it was mine to turn
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been weighing the shape of things to come
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been wondering what went wrong
 I've been weighing the shape of things to come
 You'll come to
 Sooner or later
 You'll come to
 You'll come to
 Sooner or later
 You'll come to
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been weighing the shape of things to come
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been wondering what went wrong
 I've been weighing the shape of things to come
 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been wondering what went wrong
 I've been weighing the shape of things to come

 I've been standing in line so long
 I've been wondering what went wrong
 I've been trying to understand
 And I'm not gonna leave
 And I'm not gonna leave
