Capturing moods

Moods don't command you if you don't know what you're going through.
There's love for you up where the population grows.
There's friendly people in cities too, just ask them where they are going to.
There's life and work up where the clouds meet the snow.

And I don't mind waiting

I'm always one step ahead of you if you don't know what you're going through.
There's laughs and fun up where the conversation flows.
And I don't mind waiting if it takes a long, long time.
I don't mind braving the coldest winter of our time.
I don't mind racing through our goodbyes.

This is your last line of defense.
You could sell your baseball cards just to pay your rent, yeah.

I don't mind waiting if it takes a long, long time.
And I don't mind wasting the best years of our lives.
And I don't mind racing through our goodbyes.
