Waiting For a Reason

[Verse 1]
He bears his childhood scars with a sense of injustice
Not unlike the Russians
Each time he shoots from the heart
He holds his breath and waits for repercussions

[Chorus]
He'd like to trust someone
He'd like to love someone
But he's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason

[Verse 2]
He fills his Freudian pools with crocodile tears
Brought on my nervous leisure
He kills his lovers with thoughts suspecting the worst
He cannot take the pressure

[Chorus]
He'd like to trust someone
He'd like to love someone
But he's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason

He finds no mercy and he's lost in the crowd
With an armored heart of metal
He finds he's running out of odd-numbered daisies
From which to pull the petals

[Chorus]
He'd like to trust someone
He'd like to love someone
But he's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason

[Outro]
He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
Yeah! He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
Yeah! He's waiting, waiting
Waiting for a reason
He's waiting, waiting
He's waiting, waiting
