I've seen the shadows casting the spells Sunlight was flashing on somebody else When I could have spent this whole night Watching you I've not seen the city so down in the rain Still I can find an excuse to complain When I could have spent these hours Watching you CHORUS: I keep on waiting for someone to save me From wasting the life that I knew I open my eyes and... I could have been watching you I've seen the sadness that you've always known I'm falling apart when I'm sleeping alone And I could have spent this whole night watching you I keep on waiting for someone to save me From wasting the life that I knew I open my eyes and... I could have been watching you And over, and over, and over! I've not seen the sketch of myself redefined I've never acknowledged what I left behind And I could have spent my whole life Watching you I keep on waiting for someone to save me From wasting the life that I knew From wasting the life that I knew! From wasting the life that I knew! I open my eyes and... I could have been watching you.
