Blue Rodeo – Somebody Waits lyrics

Now I think I know why
It's hard when you discover
You sounded so strange on the telephone

Dreams so real you thought the smoke might never clear
Now you hide it all behind endless cigarettes and tears
What keeps you going keeps you all alone

You get yourself so high
One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough
Somebody waits for the time I know will never come
Then you come down feeling blue
There's a thousand shining moments
Waiting just to happen to you

There's no sense leaving when you're down so low
Wait until you're stronger
Well it takes the heart a little longer
To see the point in finally letting go

When it's all too much you feel like slipping down again
You lose your touch out there standing in the rain
Somebody waits for the time I know will never come

You get yourself so high
One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough
Then you come down feeling blue
There's a thousand shining moments

Waiting just to happen to you
Somebody waits for the time I know will never come
You get yourself so high
Then you come down feeling blue
One day you'll wake up and realize you've had enough
There's a thousand shining moments
Waiting just to happen to you
