lyrics
Well "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is over, now I guess I'll just
Fade to Black.
Well you know I don't drive but honey if I did, I'd play that track all the way back
From driving to your house just to say "hey"
instead of giving up and saying "maybe someday…"
I'll buy a big truck paint it flat black and go out, On my own
Try to make amends to myself for all the chances I've blown
Instead of sitting on my ass waiting for the day
I finally grow up and get my way
But what the hell was I hoping for
And what the hell was I waiting for
Well I guess I could just do my best to ignore you honey, oh no.
But when I was 17 I'd follow men around with my head jammed, Way up their ass
Oh what I wouldn't give to still be able to conjure up energy like that
Cos he tries to get on my good side I wonder if he knows that it ain't there
Wonder if he knows that I really don't care
But what the hell was I hoping for….
And what the hell was I waiting for
I Guess I could just do my best to ignore you honey oh no
But I knew what I was getting into oh
Sitting in that dark room list'ning to Forever Blue oh
Back when I thought that every man I met would be the one to say "Oh honey it's ok I'll be lonely but I can wait"
Well I'll be lonely but I can wait.
Then I tell myself "This time could really be it" but I
Remember the wayYou call me up drunk, every six months to say you've been Thinking of me,
and I hear Chris Isaak on the radio,
telling you it's true
Tellin' me, You used to love me darlin but I know you.
Still feeding me that same line of shit you always do?
But what the hell was I hoping for.
and what the hell am I still waiting for.
Well I Guess I could just do my best to ignore you honey oh no
Well I Guess I could just do my best to ignore you honey oh no
