I've been picturing
I've been imagining
This night
For years since I last saw you
Why don't you
Why don't you say the things
That I wanted you to

I've been creating
I've been dreaming
This moment
In your absense, but
You don't look quite
You don't speak quite
Like I wanted you to

Nine years of longing
Nine years of planning
Now that it's happening
You don't feel quite
You don't seem quite
Like I wanted you to

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do anymore
Pinned all my hope on you
Been pinning all my hope on you
Like I thought
You wanted me to do

I'm stalled on the motorway
Between all I used to know
And all I was headed for
I'm stalled on the motorway
Not headed anywhere, anymore...
