Lyrics

She's there in the morning before
Before we open the shop doors
She says, "Could you let me in early please?"
"I really need my coffee"

Seems she's late for school everyday
But "that's OK," she says to me
"Cause life starts in college anyway"
"Then I'll really be free, you see"

CHORUS 1:
So she falls in line
She's just wasting time
She doesn't know, what she wants
She waits for life to start

Now she's off to college
We see her once in a while
And though she's always smiling
There's loneliness in her eyes

She brings her boyfriend home this week
He's alright from what I can see
She says, "We get married Christmas Eve"
"Then I'll really be happy"

CHORUS 1

Now she's 43 and still waiting
Just can't figure out what it means
She says "Somebody help me,"
"I'm failing to live my dreams"

But she falls in line
She's just wasting time
She wants more from life
Than broken dreams

Then she falls in line
She's just wasting time
She wants more from life
She waits for life to start
She waits for life to start
