I used to write

I used to write letters

I used to sign my name

I used to sleep at night

before the flashin' light

settled deep in my brain

But by the time we met

by the time we met

the times had

already changed

So, I never wrote a letter

I never took my true heart

I never wrote it down

so, when the lights cut out

I was lost standin' in

the wilderness down town

Now our lives

are changin' fast

now our lives

are changin' fast

Hope that somethin'

pure can last

hope that somethin'

pure can last

And it seems strange

how we used to wait

for letters to arrive

but what's stranger still

is how somethin' so small

can keep you alive

We used to waste hours

just walkin' around

all those wasted lives in

the wilderness down town

Ooh... we used to wait

Ooh... we used to wait

Ooh... we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

sometimes it never came

I'm still movin'

through the pain

I'm gonna write

a letter to my true love

I'm gonna sign my name

like a patient on a table

I wanna walk again

gonna move through the pain

Now our lives

are changin' fast

now our lives

are changin' fast

Hope that somethin'

pure can last

hope that somethin'

pure can last

Ooh... we used to wait

Ooh... we used to wait

Ooh... we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

sometimes it never came

I'm still movin'

through the pain

We used to wait...

we used to wait...

we used to wait...

We used to wait for it

we used to wait for it

now we're screamin'

sing the chorus again

We used to wait for it

we used to wait for it

now we're screamin'

sing the chorus again

I used to wait for it

I used to wait for it

hear my voice screamin'

sing the chorus again

Wait for it

Wait for it

Wait for it
