Song Description
I'm sitting here, far away from you, (could be literally or figuratively) and thinking/dreaming about how in love we used to be. I'm still in love with you, but I'm unwilling to be vulnerable, and tell you... or show you how I feel. Maybe our timing was wrong...? I'm waiting for you to come around....acting like I'm OK with just being friends (or still in the relationship, but not willing to ask for more, for fear of losing you)...but it's definitely not over in my heart.

Lyrics
I WILL WAIT FOR YOU
Sittin' here for hours,
a thousand miles away,
dreamin' 'bout the love we used to know.
Took a lot to get you,
and more to let you go,
I can't believe the love we had is gone,
...only that the time was wrong...
(CHORUS) But I will wait for you.
Don't you know that's what I do...
With my cool electric eyes
I will sympathize
and play the fool....
I'm lookin' for a reason,
to call you on the phone,
and let you know my heart will always bleed.
'Cause you have never left me,
no matter how it seems.
No one else could ever break the bond,
...eliminated one by one...
And I will wait for you.
Don't you know that's what I do...
With my cool ELECTRIC EYES,
I will sympathize
and play the fool....
I will wait for you.
And I know you see right through to
this secret in my heart.
I will play the part...
(OUTRO):
(I could telephone and you might be home,
or I might not get you.
I could take my time, I could waste a dime,
and I might not get through.
Here inside my silent darkest hour,
I could turn it 'round, what was lost is found
or I could take a fall, and I could lose it all
If it takes forever, I will wait for you...)
