The Offspring - I'll Be Waiting lyrics
[The Offspring - I'll Be Waiting lyrics]
Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought, well, so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and
Who wears the faces?
Well, I guess I'll never know
But as I stand here alone in
A room full of people with nothing to say
Beer on their minds and smoke in the air
Call them friends, but they just don't care
Friend for life
Such shallow words for broken minds
Show me a friend for life
Because I'll be waiting for
That day to arrive when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Because when we're together we
Just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want?
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Who's at fault in this game
Of yours and mine?
Well, I guess I'll never know
But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own, but is she really there?
Love for life
Such noble words for noble minds
Show me a love for life
Because I'll be waiting for
That day to arrive when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Friend for life
Such shallow words for broken minds
Show me a friend for life
Because I'll be waiting for
That day to arrive when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I had a friend that I could count
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
So I thought, well, so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and
Who wears the faces?
Well, I guess I'll never know
But as I stand here alone in
A room full of people with nothing to say
Beer on their minds and smoke in the air
Call them friends, but they just don't care
Friend for life
Such shallow words for broken minds
Show me a friend for life
Because I'll be waiting for
That day to arrive when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Because when we're together we
Just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want?
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Who's at fault in this game
Of yours and mine?
Well, I guess I'll never know
But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own, but is she really there?
Love for life
Such noble words for noble minds
Show me a love for life
Because I'll be waiting for
That day to arrive when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Friend for life
Such shallow words for broken minds
Show me a friend for life
Because I'll be waiting for
That day to arrive when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I had a friend that I could count
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
