Lyrics

I'm walking down that old abandoned railway in the rain.
The boots I wear are leaking and my feet well they are soaking.
I'm splashing through the waters of these iron oxide streams.
This place seems so familiar, but what does that mean?
Just some stupid old dream.

I'm crouched behind the curtains in the house where I grew up.
I need to run away but when I try my feet are shaking.
I've never been as scared as this and as I go to scream.
That's always the moment I wake from this stupid old dream.

I was waiting for you to do something.
I was waiting for you to say something.
I was waiting for you.

I'm back in my old classroom doing all my old exams.
Except I haven't studies or attended any lessons.
The teacher turns and asks me "Where the hell d'you think you've been?"
"I'm sorry Sir, but I've been a little busy with this stupid old dream."

I was waiting for you to do something.
I was waiting for you to say something.
I was waiting for you.

I'm standing at the airport with a girl I've never met.
She's telling me a story about something - I'm not listening.
She leans over and kisses me, and everything turns green.
Never felt as guilty as I felt in this stupid old dream.

I was waiting for you to do something.
I was waiting for you to say something.
I was waiting for you to do something, anything.
Anything, anything oh yeah....
