I'm Gonna Wait - The Temper Trap

Way down in a not so distant place

Your ghost is lingering

Still frames remembering the way we were

Way down see reflections in the well

A distant haunting bell

Resounding every time I touch you in my mind

Helpless, prayers cannot speed the time

Nor ever change the mind

Left to our wrong device we set this bridge alive

One day, you may not know it yet

This you won’t forget

I was the one who came running back again

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait for you

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait for you

My arms are reaching out for you

Each time I think of you

Flood gates open and I’m left drowning

And although, it lingers in my sleep

May you return to me

Not to possess but to hold you in my keep

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait for you

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait for you

And so the last page shall remain

Empty until you write the rest

Yes, some may say that I’m a fool

A fool for waiting for you

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait for you

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna

I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait for you

I’ll be your fool, a fool who waited for you

When you come falling, I’ll be here still waiting for you
