Todd Rundgren - The Waiting Game lyrics

Every time that I fall for that same old trick I punish myself with the same old stick I want to believe it so badly I deceive myself Forgetting reality Ignoring the fact that you're altogether someplace else Forgetting reality But I swear here and now The truth shall be mine And surrender to my prayer The weapon is time I'll play your waiting game I'm gonna win the win the waiting game I'll play your waiting game I'm gonna win this game my friend And forget you in the end Your memory seems like a living thing I never know if I'm imagining I look at your face and I know that's impossible Forgetting it's just a dream Now I'm hearing your voice saying anything is possible Forgetting it's just a dream And I still can't say why You keep invading my mind But this uncontrolled fixation Grows weaker with time A cloud of unknowing floats between you and me A trickle of love still flows between you and me But we live in different galaxies But I swear here and now Your heart will be mine You'll surrender to my love My weapon is time And your wall of resistance I will slowly undermine While your uncontrolled fixation Grows stronger with time I'll play your waiting game I'm gonna win the win the waiting game I'll play your waiting game I'm gonna win this game my friend And I'll be with you in the end I'll play, yes I will
