Waiting

Could u leave a light on, a light on to keep away my fears.
Guess it doesn't matter.
Don't matter.
They've stayed for all these years
I've tried to fool myself into thinking
I could be what you wanted for me.

I keep on waiting for life to begin as someone else.
I pray to shed my old skin,
and try to live outside myself,
and maybe I can make time release the spell that keeps me dreaming.
But I'm waiting, I'm waiting, waiting.

I know it's been such a long time for me to clear my eyes and finally see.
I know i always tried to suffice,
but it didn't quite turn out right for you.
The child that you knew never got the words saying "I love you",
but that's alright for me. I keep on waiting for life to begin as someone else.
I pray to shed my old skin,
and try to live outside myself,
and maybe I can make time release the spell that keeps me dreaming.
But I'm waiting, I'm waiting, waiting.

Dear God, you know my soul has left me restless.
My only fear are years that keep me helpless,
but thats alright for me.

I keep on waiting for life to begin as someone else.
I pray to shed my old skin,
and try to live outside myself,
and maybe I can make time release the spell that keeps me dreaming.
But I'm waiting, I'm waiting, waiting.
