I've got a picture lying face down on the table top
That I haven't seen in years
The frame and glass were once a part of me
That have slowly disappeared

And I have been waiting for a long time, now don't keep me waiting

I've got a rough idea what this whole things all about
But I'm biting on my tongue
So I don't turn into a bitter old man
'Cos of things I've never done

'Cos I have been waiting for a long time, and don't keep me waiting

Take me back to the days I didn't know
I never ever agreed to let 'em go
Over my head, in the thick of it
Smack bang in the middle of all of it

Now I've got a picture lying face down on the table top
That I haven't seen in years
The frame and glass were once a part of me
But they slowly disappeared

'Cos I have been waiting for a long time, and don't keep me waiting

Take me back to the days I didn't know
I never ever agreed to let 'em go
Over my head, in the thick of it
Smack bang in the middle of all of it

I tear myself away! (away, away)
Away, away, I tear myself away

Feels alright, haha
In a teenage wasteland, never better
There's no point sending a letter

Take me back to the days I didn't know
I never ever agreed to let 'em go
Over my head, in the thick of it
Smack bang in the middle of all of it

I have been waiting, and I have been waiting
Don't keep me waiting, don't keep me waiting

I had a picture lying face down on the table top
That I hadn't seen in years
The frame and glass were once a part of me
I won't let that disappear
