Lyrics
I'm waiting to meet you
I'm waiting to meet you
It's like the first time I walked into a cave, I shone my life up on the ceiling
Like the first time I looked into your eyes.
it's like the first time I drifted downstream on a spring swollen river.
like the first time i felt you close to me.
I'm waiting to meet you.
I'm waiting to meet you.
It's like the first time I climbed a tall building, I stared down from the edge.
Like the first time I heard you call my name.
I'm afraid I can't go forward, I'm afraid I can't go back...
I'm waiting to meet you.
I'm waiting to meet you.
Chorus:
You're like a new day
Like a road that goes one way
With no past to cling to
And only the future to look forward to
I can be so comfortable in my lonely room.
Loneliness is a trusted friend of mine.
I've looked into her eyes, I've held her cold hands.
That's why I need you so badly.
I'm waiting to meet you.
I'm waiting to meet you.
Have you ever been in a taxi, in a foreign land?
With your life entrusted to someone you've never met before.
You'll be screaming down alleys, screaming down sidewalks.
Screaming at the top of your lungs for the world to let you off.
I'm waiting to meet you
I'm waiting to meet you
Chorus:
You're like a new day.
Like a road that goes one way.
With no past to cling to
And only the future to look forward to.
I'm waiting to meet you
