if we wait until we're ready
we'll be waiting
for the rest of our lives

I. dream boy

tell me anything and i'll believe you
give me the faintest hope and i'll dream up a world
where you call me lover
and impossible things come true

a gentle push and i'm lost in a daydream
i'll bask in the glow of your smile
here, all love is requited and hearts are unbroken
it's a fantastic delusion

in my mind there's a version of you
the dream boy you'll never be
but i let myself believe for a little longer
reality can wait for now
if we wait until we're ready
we'll be waiting
for the rest of our lives

II. history repeats

history repeats and it's impossible to stop it
i dream of you from thousands of miles away
you're out of reach and i delude myself
that this time it will be different
i imagine a happy ending
a distant day where we'll be together
exactly like we were before

history repeats and it's all too familiar
i'll spend yet more months cursing geography
counting the hours between us
you're falling asleep when i wake up
i say good night in the afternoon
my days are spent waiting for you

history repeats and i'll never learn
i swore i'd never do this again
months spent longing for a boy i can't have
i dreaded goodbye but it's this that i feared
again feeling distance erode what we once had
waiting for the day it will come to an end
i clutch onto all my foolish dreams
but prepare my heart for the inevitable
i survived it before and now i'll endure it again

history repeats and you'll find someone new
just like he did
if we wait until we're ready
we'll be waiting
for the rest of our lives

III. heart intact

there was a time when i adored and resented you in the same breath
when you were wonderful and ruthless and i thought i'd never crave anything more
than the thrill i got from being with you

(i'd never tell you but you almost broke my heart when you said i'd find the right person someday
for so long i believed that no one could be more right for me than you)

so what a remarkable thing it is to be just fine

i'll revel in the joy of nonchalance
and rejoice that by some miracle my heart remains intact
it feels like it was a stranger who once believed you'd be my world
i adored you and i resented you and i thought i would forever
until i started to forget you

what a remarkable thing it is to be just fine
if we wait until we're ready
we'll be waiting
for the rest of our lives
