he sits at home,
playing video games
doesn’t change a thing,
he always feels the same
calls her up,
leaves a message on the phone
he says “hello,
call me when you get back home.”
now he’s waiting,
he feels so all alone
now he’s chasing,
a dream he can’t control
she gets home late,
from her casual date
hears his voice on the tape,
wonders if he’ll ever change
she dreams of someone,
who will come along
maybe sing her a song,
about a world filled with love
now she’s waiting,
she feels so all alone
now she’s chasing,
a dream she can’t control
i tune these strings,
i’m singing in a minor key
wondering where i’ll be,
come next January
i see her eyes,
cut me down to my knees
oh, what more must i see,
this woman could set me free
now i’m waiting,
i feel so all alone
now i’m chasing,
a dream i can’t control
now you’re waiting,
you feel so all alone
now you’re chasing,
a dream you can’t control
