Story Behind The Song
I wrote the lyrics about a guy I was dating that was dating a few other girls. He couldn't seem to decide what to do. Then he'd break up with others and I'd be with someone and he'd want to get together. A lot of missed opportunities with that guy. It was frustrating.

Lyrics
If you can, look at me standing before you endlessly
Waiting for something, for something to happen here
Only so many hours, so many days
So far I?m getting no where with you
So how about it, think about it
Take a minute if you?ve got it
FOR ME, MAYBE I COULD WAIT FOREVER
FOR YOU, MAYBE IT?S NOW OR NEVER
FOR ME, CAN I STAY ANY LONGER
ANY LONGER FOR YOU?
FOR ME, FOR YOU, TOO
Is this a mess we?ve got always the wrong place and time
Waiting for someone, for someone to make their move
Only so many doors, so many chances
So what are you waiting for
Are you in it, let?s begin this
Are you coming ?round this way
FOR ME, MAYBE I COULD WAIT FOREVER
FOR YOU, MAYBE IT?S NOW OR NEVER
FOR ME, CAN I STAY ANY LONGER
ANY LONGER FOR YOU?
FOR ME, FOR YOU, TOO
But it?s not good enough
For me to hold onto ghosts
No it?s not good enough
FOR ME, MAYBE I COULD WAIT FOREVER
FOR YOU, MAYBE IT?S NOW OR NEVER
FOR ME, CAN I STAY ANY LONGER
ANY LONGER FOR YOU?
FOR ME, FOR YOU, TOO
