Strings Songtext
von A.C. Newman

I′m the star of a book you wrote before
Your career was illustrious
Though only renters and college kids skim through
I'll skip through to the end
To see if you got help from someone there up on high
Who may have heard the beacon′s faint cry
I could do things for you
I can do things for you

All the reasons I always dreamed of school
I just dropped out and left them there
It was always the fabulous stain on
On my reputation for opening doors
And selling arts and crafts from the floor
Lately I know this much no more
We've been waiting for you
We've been waiting for you


And I′m not kidding
I′m done with sitting
On TV, fearsome and bright lights waiting
For you learn to wean yourself off of it
And I'm not kidding
I′m done with sitting
On TV, fearsome and bright lights waiting
For you learn to wean yourself off of it

Did some orphans lament "get hurt" one night
Pinball through moons and time
Wind through some harmless darkness, bounce off stars
And knock into some warm, waiting arms
Or was it just sometimes of some proof
Until we learn some obvious truth
We've been waiting for you
We′ve been waiting for you

And I'm not kidding
I′m done with sitting
On TV, fearsome and bright lights waiting
For you learn to wean yourself off of it
And I'm not kidding
I'm done with sitting
On TV, fearsome and bright lights waiting
For you learn to wean yourself off of it


We′ve been waiting for you
We′ve been waiting for you
We've been waiting for you
We′ve been waiting for you
We've been waiting for you
We′ve been waiting for you
We've been waiting for you
We′ve been waiting for you
