I'm red in the eyes but I will not sleep tonight Oh the owl has been pining I picture old friends slipping back in my life I stare at the ceiling I see only bars Whatever the destination I'm counting the seconds until I can step out again I'm losing all track of time Stay or leave Come or go The suspense is killing me I'm impatiently playing the waiting game Playing the waiting game Whatever I try There's no rushing that river to the sea But this low on time feeling keeps hanging about Muttering to me If you don't hurry the ark's going to leave No matter the destination I'm counting the seconds until I can see green again I'm losing all track of time Stay or leave Come or go Curiosity's killing me I'm impatiently playing the waiting game Playing the waiting game Playing the waiting game Playing the waiting game No matter the destination I'm counting the seconds until I can see hills again I'm losing all track of time Stay or leave Come or go The suspense is killing me I'm impatiently playing the waiting game Playing the waiting game Playing the waiting game Playing the waiting game
