Only Wait Forever

Flying out tonight on TAA

Rain slicks on the runway

Chicken à la King on the inflight menu

Where I’m going, I’m gonna miss you

No, don’t throw to an ad break

I’m about to give you my whole take

I’m about to come so clean

I’m about to tell you just what I mean

I have only got until never

I can only wait forever

Sitting on my own with the lights down low

In the hotel bar at the Wrest Point Casino

Looking for a drink and a public phone

But the rattling coins tell me you’re not home

No, don’t call your lawyer

Meet me in 5 in the foyer

I’ve got something I know you want

You’ve got something I want to know

I have only got until never

I can only wait forever

I’ve got my toes dangling over the emotional cliff

The roiling sea offers me no relief

I left all my dreams out on the reef

I said “goodbye” to everyone

The guys down the front all call me The Man

And it’s true I am the King of the Divan

But I’m driving home alone with my eyelids quivering

I’m old, I’m cold and I’m shivering

No, don’t sign your name yet

I’m about to cash a big pay cheque

I’m going to cross all my T’s

I’m going to dot my I’s

I have only got until never

I can only wait forever

Ooh wait forever
