I used to write,
I used to write letters
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights
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 left standing in the
Wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
It seems strange
How we used to wait
For letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small
Can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste
Hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in
The wilderness downtown
Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Still moving through the pain
(oooooooooooh)
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 changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Still moving through the pain
(oooooooooooh)
We used to wait (x3)
We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
Sing the chorus again
We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
Sing the chorus again
I used to wait for it
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming
Sing the chorus again
Wait for it! (x3)
