lyrics

I saw you in line at the grocery store
I tried to turn tail then my basket hit the floor
Dropped down to the ground
But I still caught your eye
Before I could take a breath
You were standing at my side

I said hey old friend, well I guess it’s been some years
But I finally swum out of my big puddle of tears
And you’re finally back on earth after that long sky dive
I guess it’s good to know you’re still alive

There was fire, flood, wind and rain and
Fear and hope and doubt
And all that time I was just waiting around
I was just waiting around
I was just waiting around

Does your dog still spin when he wags his tail?
Did your brother ever get clean, is he out of jail?
Does your knee still ache after the first frost?
Did you ever find those pictures that we lost?

And did she finally let you have the boat?
Or did you find something else to help keep you afloat?
Do I cross your mind every now and then?
Are you still searching your soul and living on dividends?

You had to go and try to get yourself all figured out
And all that time I was just waiting around
I was just waiting around
I was just waiting around

Did you ever wonder if you were a fool
And how a human being could be
So goddamn accidentally cruel
Do you ever feel frozen counting days and marking time
Did you ever look up and see me
Writing love songs in the sky?
You said you hoped that I was doing well
So I curled my toes and opened my mouth to tell
How you wore down that one spot in my heart
Then she came and stood beside you
With a baby in her arms
She had a baby in her arms

And gee I guess it’s good to see you’re finally happy now
And you didn’t waste your time
Just waiting around
Like I was just waiting around
I was just waiting around
I was just waiting around
I was just waiting around
