You were waiting

For a special moment

For the perfect timing

For the words to come out right

You were waiting for someone else

To say "I love you"

But she never said it

So you never said it back

No you never said it back

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

Cause she was waiting

For that special moment

For the perfect timing

For the words to come out right

She was waiting for someone else

To say "I love you"

But you never said it

So she never said it back

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

Better and imperfect moment that's now

Then a moments' perfection that time won't allow

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

What a shame, what a shame, what a shame

What a crying shame

What a crying shame

You were a joker King

Who wore a paper crown

Bright coloured plastic rings

And a polyester gown

I knelt on bended knee

And never said a word

I bit my tongue so deep

I knew I'd not be heard

But know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

Just know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

You set your crown on fire

I watched it slowly burn

You didn't feel a thing

And that's when I took my turn

Just know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

Just know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

Hallelujah, hallelujah

All my praises were wrong

Hallelujah, hallelujah

All my praises were wrong now their gone

Just know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

Just know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

Just know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

Just know that

I won't give you much more than this

Now the cat's been let out of bag

You were a couple of years older

And oh, it gave me such a thrill

You spent your days reading difficult books

With your head on the windowsill

Then you'd picked me up in your green hatchback

With it's clunky break and funny smell

You'd play the same song over and over

To prove that you knew me well (you knew me well)

My mum and dad were pretty worried

But they had nothing to fear

Cause we'd just drive

Yeah, we'd just drive

Chasing light

We were simply chasing light

You were a man of sophistication

With your cheap cigarettes, and cheaper cologne

Our eyes were starting to open

And see who we really were (we really were)

All my friends were pretty jealous

They said we wouldn't last the year

My mum and dad were pretty worried

But they had nothing to fear

Cause we'd just drive

Yeah, we'd just drive

Chasing light

We were simply chasing light

You drove your car down to the ocean

And parked her facing out to sea

Nearby they found you gently swinging

In the breeze

Did you drive?

Did you drive?

Chasing light

You were simply chasing light

I've got an old-fashioned name

But I keep it myself

Most days I struggle to decide

If I'm a woman or someone else

I'm crooked on my crooked smile

I'm more careless than carefree

Oh, I was counting on a break

But the world sped ahead of me

Oh, I've been waiting

Ah, for that magic moment

Oh, I've been waiting

For so long

You got the best years of my life

And I got nothing in return

But a broken heart and a loss of pride

'Cause I was born to live and yet I live to serve

Oh, I've been waiting

Ah, for that magic moment

Oh, I've been waiting

For so long

All my prayers have been met with silence

Didn't you hear me when I called your name?

I thought it had to be all or nothing

So I gave you everything

Oh, I've been waiting

Ah, for that magic moment

Oh, I've been waiting

Ah, for that magic moment

Oh, I've been waiting

For so long

For far too long

Where were you last night?

When did you come to bed?

Did you wait for me to fall asleep

So I wouldn't see what was in your head?

Little did you know

When you finally fell asleep

I found you in my dreams

And I held you to my breast

Oh, you can run

You can hide

Or you could fight

Where were you today?

Were you walking through the streets

Trying to get lost in the crowd

Staring at your shuffling feet

Ooo

Oh, you can run

You can hide

Or you could fight

I see your shame

And your sore pride

But you will never know

The fear of losing me from your side

You can run

You can hide

You will never know

The fear of losing me from your side

'Cause I am a lion

Oh you can run

You can hide

Or you could stay

Put up the fight

I thought the winter would never end

I stopped waiting for spring

I thought I'd never see you smile again

And I thought that I'd never want to sing

'Cause Lady Fear

She got a hold of me

She got a hold of me

Lady Fear

So I had to let her go

I thought the cancer would spread again

And that he's mind had been taking for good

I thought my girl had too much to bear

And that my boy would be misunderstood

Don't tell me I'm lazy

'Cause I did all that I could

But Lady Fear

She got a hold of me

She got a hold of me

Lady Fear

So I had to let her go

Lady Fear

She got a hold of me

She got a hold of me

Lady fear

So I had to let her go

We played it safe in the dark

For so long

We were afraid of each other

But we are slowly creeping

Out in to the light

'Cause we are ready to discover

Discover

I was ashamed to get undressed

When you left the light on

I wasn't ready to uncover

All those parts and pieces of me

That I thought were wrong

I was so scared to be your lover

Your lover

So we played it safe in the dark

For so long

We were afraid of each other

But we are slowly creeping

Out in to the light

'Cause we are ready to discover

All the things we are

All the things we will never be

All the things we hope for

All the things we will never be

Time changes everything

Now at the table we can finally bring

All the things we are

All the things we will never be

All the things we hope for

All the things we will never be

You haven't been yourself since the summer

And lately the days are getting cold

You seem to worry 'bout the future now

About getting old

You wear the same expression everyday

Just like those clothes that you put on

I don't know she was or what she did

Or how it all went wrong

So wrong

The rain is falling down, down, down

The sky is grey in Melbourne Town

And I'm not the girl to

Wipe away your frown

But I try

Yeah I try

You haven't let go of the details

Like the curve of her neck and the size of her shoe

Nobody ever looks at anyone these days

The way you do

You do

The rain is falling down, down, down

The sky is grey in Melbourne Town

And I'm not the girl to

Wipe away your frown

But I try

Yeah I try

Oh I try

Oh are you forgetting Mister

That you were the one who kissed her

Yeah you were the one who kissed her first

Since then she's the one who's been chasing

Since then she's the one who's been lacing

Her fingers through your hair

Trying to hold you

And she won't let go

No she won't let go

No she won't let go

No she won't let go

No

You were the brave one

Who got that thing going

You were the one

Who kissed without knowing

Of what was lying up ahead

Since that day

Her heart has been taken

Since that day

There has been no mistaking

That you were the one for her

And she's got ya

And she won't let go

No she won't let go

No she won't let go

No she won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

And she won't let go

No she won't let go

No she won't let go

No she won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No I won't let go

No no no
