lyrics

If I could change the world I'd start with myself
and then the rest would follow suit
if not give them the boot and I wish you well
how I wish you well

And when I'm on my way back home I feel small
meanwhile the wheels just keep on spinning
away from the beginning how I wish you'd call
how I wish you would call
I keep waiting

And as I click from station to station
hear the buzz of another nation that's growing tired
so I try and think of something to do
but I'm stuck here sat in a room that's caught on fire now
won't you here me say
won't you here me say
that I need you

I keep waiting
I keep waiting
Keep waiting
