Lyrics
it seems like i've waited
for you my whole life
and now that you're here
i'm still waiting
and wondering
and wishing i could be
where you are
is always right before me
where you are
is always out of reach
where you are
you were always so close to me
where you are
you're always too far
how much more will there be
my life's so caught up in you and me
how much more do i have to see
before i can finally be
so i'll take my chances on you
but you're a million miles away
what i wouldn't do to lie close to you
in your arms
i've said it all a hundred times before
but i swear i'll wait till i don't have to wait
anymore
you have found me
but you're still too far
