There were star's in the sky, casting shadows through the tree's,
there's a place I can't get out of my head.
The distant lights of a boat on the bay,
I watch them glow as they fade away.
And everything fades away in this life like a dream.

So don't hold your breath, don't waste your heart waiting.
Waiting for the reasons why, waiting for the perfect time.
Waiting for the lights to return, waiting for a sign.

Well she plays in my head like a childhood film,
you know, the ones that you can never quiet shake.
In those endless days, back when time meant nothing,
you and I had nothing but time to waste.

We'd drive all night through the rain with one headlight,
to a beach town out on highway Three.
I'd run my fingers through your hair, where the wind meets the salt air,
and the glorious sunrise was all we could see.
But everything from those days slipped away like a dream.

So don't close your eyes, don't waste your time waiting.
waiting for the stars to align, waiting for the lowest tide,
waiting for the pain to be gone, waiting for a sign.

Waiting for the reasons why, waiting for the stars to align.

And everything fades away in this life a like a dream.

Waiting for the reasons why, waiting for the perfect time.
Waiting for the lights to return, waiting for the wait to stop,
waiting for the ball to drop, waiting for the cruel to be kind,
waiting for a sign.
Waiting just to get it right, waiting till the day turns to night,
waiting till the tape rewinds, waiting for a sign...

Don't hold your breathe, don't waste your time, don't lose your heart.
