about

waiting for rescue by the C.B.L.A.

lyrics

Read in my eyes I can't talk about it
Been so long it's been the same way
No words are fit to describe it
not that it matter's much anyway, anyhow

I stood and waited at the station, anticipating you would come
I had to wait in frustration, wondering where you could be
I felt the ground shake under me, I heard cuffufle all around
a sudden fear came over me, that felt familiar somehow

Why did you lie? (lie to my face....lie to me, ) x4

When did I last hear your name outspoken
or whispered in an affectionate way
nothing I wouldn't share with all the passers-by
done in a hard and unapologizing way,

I waited many times over
what it would take to give it up
I must've counted all the headlights that came and when past my way
another dull conversation, would briefly confiscate my mind, for just a fraction of an instant
in an expanding waste of time,

Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to yourself?
Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie?

Checklisting every possibility
More than I'd ever hope to memorize
Wishing away systematically
Dim reflections of tired eyes
