Barenaked Ladies - You Will Be Waiting lyrics

As we walk together through the autumn
Nearing winter
Through the dying leaves and trees we
Call our home and native land
You say you don't believe a thing I say
I say you don't believe a thing
You say you can't believe
How I don't understand

But I Know that you will be waiting
Oh I know that you will be waiting
Oh I know you will be waiting
Waiting there for me

You say you cannot live with me
You need your own identity
And now we air our laundry on national TV
And so you hate my arrogance
My smothering and sitting on the fence
But I'm afraid of the hard permanence
Of letting you go free

But I Know that you will be waiting
Oh I know that you will be waiting
Oh I know you will be waiting
Waiting there for me

I'm so sick of fighting and
That effigy you're lighting looks
An awful lot like someone whose name
I just can't quite place
And though you say it's not supposed
To be me or any entity
Still through the flames and smoke I
See I recognize that face

But I Know that you will be waiting
Oh I know that you will be waiting
Oh I know you will be waiting
Waiting there for me

You were someone who would
Always tell me things I don't know
And tell me where to go
But there I'll always go
I'll always go there
Whether or not you're waiting
I don't care if you'll be waiting
But please say that you will
Be waiting there for me
Don't you ever ever leave me don't leave
