about

About waiting for someone that will never come

lyrics

Well, I am standing here alone at the ball
Somebody was supposed to pick me up
But they don't
Well, they don't

Well, I can see the sparkling across the room
It's full of people drinking their punch of joy
But you don't
Well, you don't

And I heard something about
How amazing this should be
The dance floor is so full of clowns
And the butterflies are eating me inside
Eating inside of me

Well, I am seated here upon my feet
Trying to understand what they are laughing at
What's that?

The sparkling blurred my sore red eyes
Maybe that's why I couldn't see when you came in
Did you appear?

I heard something about
How amazing this should be
The dance floor is so full of clowns
And the butterflies are eating me inside
Eating inside of me

Where are your carriages now
And our names marked on the wood?
My heart enlarging my chest
And you secretly giving yourself to me?
Yourself to me

Where are you now
Where are you now
That I didn't see you here with me?
