And in a darkened room, where I always spoke too soon I burn an endless stare at nothing's that just aren't there If I can convince myself that any of this helps I can sink deeper in but call it something else And, in that darkened room, where I trusted my own eyes Despite all evidence, life’s provided otherwise You're going to wait a long time You're going to wait a long time You’re going to wait a long And in that darkened room, there is evidence for God But he's not like I thought, and I'm always on my guard You know I could never wait, so just tell it to me straight We're going to wait a long time We're going to wait a long time We're going to wait a long time You're gonna wait a long time But there's power in prayer There’s smoke in the rafters Lord and lover, saint and swain There’s ash in the air We're going to wait a long time But I'm willing to wait Oh, let me find the right one! Someone to love, someone to hate We're going to wait a long time So, find love while you're young That way, when it's over? That way, when it’s over? That way, when it's over? You've barely begun Oh, my God is a God of ironies (we're going to wait a long time) Microaggressions and very long lines Slight tilts, and unrealities (long time) And everything bad takes a very, very long time Long time Very long time And everything bad takes a very long time
