lyrics

Is this what I've been waiting for? by cold comfort

V1: (vamp)

Here it is,
it's 3AM
Here we are
Right at your door
a fumbled handshake

a kiss on the cheek
sweet anticipation
and nothing more
for me?

Poor old miserable?
heart on my sleeve?
I know you're convinced
of just what motivates me

tonight
and last night
and the night before that
back to January.

CHORUS:
No one walks anyone home any more
The deals are all made in advance
NO one walks anyone back to their door
but you insist, my old fashioned friend

V2 (vamp)

Show me the door
smile at the gate
The first train home
doesn't leave until 8.

(Instrumental solo)

CHORUS:
No one sleeps at train stations anymore
No one with lipstick on their cheek.
Sensible sleeping arangements are made in advance
But you insist my old fashioned well intentioned friend.

BRIDGE:
And if we were just hasty?
And if we eschewed (screwed) anticipation?
And the people at the station
didn't know me, by my first name?

And if we traded places
Would you have the patience
Would I be so sure
That you'd come back?

To re-enact
This scene we've played
207 times before?
Is that what I've waiting for?

V3: (vamp)
Here it is.
It's 2.15
Don't matter where we've been
or the movie we've just seen
because in between
The cafe and your door

I thought that I would
finally ask
that you let me in
because I wasn't sure
if that's just what
you
were waiting for.

CHORUS (altered, repeat and fade) :
And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd take me though your door
For you to say, of course, what the hell have you been waiting for...

And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd let me though your door
And even if you'd only let me sleep upon your floor

I'd be home, my sweet lover
I'd be home, finally
I'd be home and always with you
I'd be home

And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd take me though your door
For you to say, of course, what the hell have you been waiting for...

And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd let me though your door
And even if you'd only let me sleep upon your floor
