Lyrics The Temper Trap – I’m Gonna Wait
Text:
Way down in a not so distant place
Your ghost is lingering
Still frames remembering the way we were
Way down see reflections in the well
Resounding every time I touch you in my mind
Helpless, prayers cannot speed the time
Nor ever change the mind
Left to our wrong device we set this bridge alive
One day, you may not know it yet
This you won’t forget
I was the one who came running back again
Hook x2:
I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna
I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna
I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I wanna
I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait, I’m gonna wait for you
My arms are reaching out for you
Each time I think of you
Flood gates open and I’m left drowning
And although, it lingers in my sleep
May you return to me
Not to possess but to hold you in my keep
Hook x2
And so the last page shall remain
Empty until you write the rest
Yes, some may say that I’m a fool
A fool for waiting for you
Hook x2
I’ll be your fool, a fool who waited for you
