I'm planning all my days by reading the stars And I'm winning all my games by counting the cards I'm fighting the good fight by just staying poor And I'm living the good life by living alone So why must I wait Why must I wait Why must I wait for you It used to be a breeze to huff and puff and blow me apart But now it's not so easy since I made a stronger heart I gave away my guilt and I sawed off all my tears To make this house I've built to while away the years So why must I wait Why must I wait Why must I wait Why must I ache for you
