as we walk together through the autumn nearing winter through the dying leaves and trees we call our home and native land you say you don t believe a thing i say i say you don t believe a thing you say you can t believe how i don t understand but i know that you will be waiting oh i know that you will be waiting oh i know you will be waiting waiting there for me you say you cannot live with me you need your own identity and now we air our laundry on national tv and so you hate my arrogance my smothering and sitting on the fence but i m afraid of the hard permanence of letting you go free but i know that you will be waiting oh i know that you will be waiting oh i know you will be waiting waiting there for me i m so sick of fighting and that effigy you re lighting looks an awful lot like someone whose name i just can t quite place and though you say it s not supposed to be me or any entity still through the flames and smoke i see i recognize that face but i know that you will be waiting oh i know that you will be waiting oh i know you will be waiting waiting there for me  you were someone who would always tell me things i don t know and tell me where to go but there i ll always go i ll always go there whether or not you re waiting i don t care if you ll be waiting but please say that you will be waiting there for me don t you ever ever leave me don t leave
