Here I sit waiting for you
With a cold cup of coffee and a burnt cigarette
That has fallen like ashes slowly from me
I search myself alone

Here I sit waiting for you
With a suitcase packed and an eight by ten
That reminds me of ashes, it's gray and faded
I search myself alone

'Cause there's always somebody
Who's out there waiting for someone to take them away
And if I search long enough I might find that someone
Waiting to take me away, yeah, but not today
Yeah, but not today

Here I sit waiting for you
The sun has gone down on a perfect day
Oh, I've waited for hours please send someone
I search myself alone

'Cause there's always somebody
Who's out there waiting for someone to take them away
And if I search long enough I might find that someone
Waiting to take me away, yeah-e-yeah

And I've been waiting for so long
And I've been waiting can't go on

Here I sit waiting for you

'Cause there's always somebody
Who's out there waiting for someone to take them away
And if I search long enough I might find that someone
Waiting to take me away

Yeah, there's always somebody
Who's out there waiting for someone to take them away
And if I search long enough I might find that someone
Waiting to take me away, yeah, but not today

Yeah, but not today
Yeah, but not today
Yeah, but not today
