The Waiting Game - Todd Rundgren

Every time that I fall for that same old trick

I punish myself with the same old stick

I want to believe it so badly I deceive myself

Forgetting reality

Ignoring the fact that you’re altogether someplace else

Forgetting reality

But I swear here and now

The truth shall be mine

And surrender to my prayer

The weapon is time

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win the waiting game

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win this game my friend

And forget you in the end

Your memory seems like a living thing

I never know if I’m imagining

I look at your face and I know that’s impossible

Forgetting it’s just a dream

Now I’m hearing your voice saying anything is possible

Forgetting it’s just a dream

And I still can’t say why

You keep invading my mind

But this uncontrolled fixation

Grows weaker with time

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win the waiting game

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win this game my friend

And forget you in the end

A cloud of unknowing floats between you and me

A trickle of love still flows between you and me

But we live in different galaxies

But I swear here and now

Your heart will be mine

You’ll surrender to my love

My weapon is time

And your wall of resistance

I will slowly undermine

While your uncontrolled fixation

Grows stronger with time

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win the waiting game

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win this game my friend

And I’ll be with you again

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win the waiting game

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win this game my friend

And I’ll be with you again

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win the waiting game

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win this game my friend

And I’ll be with you again

I’ll play your waiting game

I’m gonna win the waiting game

I’ll play your waiting game…
