I'll Be Waiting Lyrics

I'll Be Waiting - The Offspring

Once I had a friend that I could count on

So I thought

Well so it seemed

But times of need are not enough

To prove your friendship to me now

Once I saw a face that I believed in

But a mask was all there was

So who wears the masks and who wears the faces

Well I guess I'll never know

But as I stand here alone in a room full of people

With nothing to say

Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air

Call them feiends but they just don't care

Friend for life

Such shallow words for brokrn minds

Show me a friend for life

Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive

When I'll feel alive

I'll be waiting for that day

Once I found a love I had to know

Now we might know each other just too well

Cause when we're together we just can't get enough

Or is it we just can't get what we want

Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it

Dreams quickly turn to reality

Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine

Well I guess I'll never know

But as I sit here alone

Think of the girl who came softly inside me

The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair

Call her my own but is she really there?

Love for life

Such noble words for noble minds

Show me a love for life

Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive

When I'll feel alive

I'll be waiting for that day

(repeat~)

Once I had a friend that I could count on

Times of need are not enough

Once I found a love I had to know

Now we might know each other just too well

Once I saw a dream I had to chase it

Dreams quickly turn to reality

Now let me close my eyes

Because I don't want to see anymore
