Lyrics
I stood on the corner
pretending that it was alright.
The music was twisting,
but I wasn't listening... I
was waiting for something
that I can't begin to define.
You were just waiting for someone
who'd help you to shine.
And I've been losing myself to the night.
I've been patiently doing my time.
I've been waiting for you to decide.
So won't you let me in?
Let's begin... tonight.
I stood on the corner
as still as a stone in the night.
The streetlights were whispering, but I wasn't listening... I
was waiting for something
but I just don't know where to find it.
You were just waiting for someone
to show you the light.
And I've been losing myself in the night.
I've been patiently doing my time.
I've been waiting for you to decide.
So won't you let me in?
Let's begin tonight.
