  • Do I want to say the things I say
    When I know that they are wrong
    Do I wait here forever for you, would you ask me to?
    I been waiting here, all night

    If your not going to show
    Were not gonna fight
    I could stay, forever, if I tried
    Surrounded by things,
    Like a shadow in the light

    Do I try and stay still for you
    And the clowns who park here
    Fill the emptiness of the room
    Do you watch me from the corner of your eye
    Do we say goodbye

    I waited in the wings
    For you to appear
    But your never coming back
    Your never gonna feel
    Like we did, I waited all night
    I tried to let you go
    Like a shadow in the light

    The light, do I wait
    Do I wait for you
    Do I wait
    Do I wait for you

    Do I wait here forever for you
    Did you ask me to? Writer/s: RYAN ADAMS
