[Verse] Well, "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is over And now I can sack and just fade to black Well, you know I don't drive But, honey, if I did, I'd play that track all the way back From driving to your house just to say hey Instead of giving up, I'll see you maybe someday I'll buy a pickup truck, paint it flat black and go out on my own Trying to make amends to myself for all of the chances I've blown Instead of just sitting on my a** waiting for the day I finally grow up and get my way [Chorus] But what the hell was I hoping for? And what the hell was I waiting for? Well, I guess I could just do my best to ignore you, honey [Verse] But when I was seventeen I'd follow you around with my head jammed way up your a** Oh, what I wouldn't give to still be able to conjure up energy like that ‘Cause he tries to get on my guitar I wonder if he knows that it ain't there I wonder if he knows that I really don't care [Chorus] But what the hell was I hoping for? And what the hell was I waiting for? [Verse] Well, I guess I could just do my best to ignore you, honey But I knew what I was getting into Sitting in your basement playing “Forever Blue” Back when I thought that every man that I met would be the one to say "Oh, honey, it's okay, I've been lonely, but I can wait" Well, I'll be lonely But I can wait [Verse] And then I tell myself that this time could really be it But I remember the way You'd call me up drunk like every six months to say you've been thinking of me I hear Chris Isaak on the radio, telling me it's true That you still love me darling, but if I know you Oh you're still feeding me that same line of sh** you always do [Chorus] Oh, what the hell was I hoping for? And what the hell am I still waiting for? Well, I guess I could just do my best to ignore you, honey Well, I guess I could just do my best to ignore you
