I've been waitin' for the sun to shine
Shine between the clouds within my mind
My days are getting numbered
And my nights are growing long
And I know now that I waited far too long
I've been waitin' for my bird to sing
Sing a song about the simpler things
Flew through the night just to find
A birdie to sing along
But I know that I waited far too long
Can you release me from my crime
I've spent too much time by myself
Alone with my own thoughts only to find
I can finally admit that I was wrong
But I know now that I waited far too long
Can you release me from my crime
I've spent too much time by myself
Alone with my own thoughts only to find
I can finally admit that I was wrong
But I know now that I waited far too long
I've been waitin' for my words to rhyme
It's easier when you don't even try
I wanted my poems to prove
That my love for you's still strong
But I know now that I waited far too long
Can you release me from my crime
I've spent too much time by myself
Alone with my own thoughts only to find
I can finally admit that I was wrong
But I know now that I waited far too long
