I used to write,
I used to write letters
I used to sign my name

I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights
Settled deep in my brain

But by the time we met
By the time we met
The times had already changed

So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart
I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was left standing in the
Wilderness downtown

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last

It seems strange
How we used to wait
For letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small
Can keep you alive

We used to wait
We used to waste
Hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in
The wilderness downtown

Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Still moving through the pain
(oooooooooooh)

I'm gonna write a letter
To my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again
Gonna move through the pain

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last

Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Ooooh we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Sometimes it never came
(ooooh we used to wait)
Still moving through the pain
(oooooooooooh)

We used to wait (x3)

We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
Sing the chorus again

We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
Sing the chorus again

I used to wait for it
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming
Sing the chorus again

Wait for it! (x3)
