[Verse 1]
How can pain be sweet, even for a while?
How come I'm full grown, yet feel like a child?
How can you control me with a single look?
How can I express these things in words or books?
[Pre-Chorus]
Where language fails music speaks
So I came to sing you this song
Tell you I'll wait for you a hundred years
Let me in, darling, let me in
[Chorus]
And I will stand, waiting for the dawn
Slipping through the claws of space and time
You built a wall on my sandy shore
But my waves will open up a door
Oh, but my waves will open up a door
[Verse 2]
I know you've been hurt, love can take its toll
How can we be sane, yet so out of control?
I don't even think I ever made a choice
To live and die just on the promise of your voice
[Pre-Chorus]
Where language fails music speaks
So I came to sing you this song
Tell you I'll wait for you a hundred years
Let me in, darling, let me in
[Chorus]
And I will stand, waiting for the dawn
Slipping through the claws of space and time
You built a wall on my sandy shore
But my waves will open up a door
Oh, but my waves will open up a door
[Post-Chorus]
Singing
I will wait
I will follow
I will never be the same
I will wait
I will follow
I will never be the same
I will wait
I will follow
I will never be the same
I will wait
I will follow
I will never be the same
