Maybe it's my cross
To fight it every time
To expect the worst
And leave the best behind
Maybe it's my loss
To end it all in lies
To spend my nights with
A consolation prize
To be playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
I am playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
It's not like I've tried
To find a better life
I get by with
The job, the house, the wife
But sometimes I wonder
What it all might mean?
To spend my time with someone
Who's looking back at me
Not playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
I am playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
(It should be your choice) to be kind,
And after all you're still inclined
If someday I come across your mind and
We are not completely out of touch
I will be with you and we will not have to be
Playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
I am playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
I am playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
I am playing
A waiting game
It's not a real good time
To make things change
