lyrics

I can't wait to die alone
I can't wait to feel my bones snap in my shoes
I no man and I'm going to lose
You can't pick and choose
What shit you take and what shit you make
It's all the same in this long waiting game
You'll look the same in this picture frame

I can't wait to see you there
With your denim jacket and short dyed hair
I know you still care
But I don't know where to run
This setting sun is burning every single bridge I used to stand on
To keep from falling into the river
Yes, I still shiver when I hear your name
It's all the same in this long waiting game
You stay the same in this picture frame

But someone's coming, love,
You'd better get out now
Before they lock you, too, away
Release the doves and make a joyful sound
If I'm released today
Oh, you know, better shove me to the ground
And blame me for my escape
It's all I've got, my love,
To keep your memory down
(The one from Independence Day)
Now, don't you worry
I said I'm sorry
You'd better hurry
Make your getaway

I always knew I'd die alone
It's mostly strangers, here, in my home
But there's your face
And I'm glad you came
You look the same
Still playing the game
(The long waiting game)
I feel no shame
Go tend the flame
Yeah, I'll look the same in this picture frame
