I used to write
I used to write letters
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met
By the time we met the times had already changed
♪
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart, I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
And it it seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
♪
Ooh, we used to wait
Ooh, we used to wait
Ooh, we used to wait
Sometimes it never came (ooh, we used to wait)
Sometimes it never came (ooh, we used to wait)
I'm still moving through the pain
I'm gonna write
A letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again
Gonna move to the pain
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last

We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming, "Sing the chrous again!"
We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming, "Sing the chorus again!"
I used to wait for it
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming, "Sing the chrous again!"
