Lyrics
Haven?t Been Around
© 2005 Monica Driscoll and Brett Ratner
V1.
I?m waiting I?m waiting but you?re not coming home
I sit there staring at the phone
So what?s the deal, you say you want me too
So how can I believe you
I watch my watch but time can?t seem to fly
Oh it grows wings when you?re nearby
So what?s the deal you say you love me too
So when will I feel it?s true
Ch.
You and me waited for the right time
Do you think that you could be mine
Hard to say, you just haven?t been around
V2.
I want the world but now my hands feel tied
I won?t let life just pass me by
So what?s the deal you say you want it too
So how can I forgive you
I watch my watch but days just seem to fly
I?ll grow wings and take the sky
So what?s the deal you say you never grew
So how can we continue
Ch.
Br.
What can you tell me
To make this go away
What can you say to me
Take it all away
What else can you tell me
What else can you tell me
What else can you tell me
V3.
I?m waiting I?m waiting but you?re not coming home
I sit there staring at the phone
So what?s the deal, you say you want me too
So how can I believe you
I watch my watch but time can?t seem to fly
Yeah it grows wings when you?re nearby
So what?s the deal you say you love me too
So when will I feel it?s true
Ch.
