[Verse 1]
Six on the second hand to New Years' resolutions
And there's just no question what this man should do
Take all the time lost, all the days that I cost
Take what I took and give it back to you
[Chorus]
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you
[Verse 2]
I don't know what day it is, I had to check the paper
And I don't know the city, but it isn't home
But you say I'm lucky to love something that loves me
But I'm torn as I could be wherever I roam
Hear me say...
[Chorus]
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you
Yeah, oh, running back to you
Oh, running back to you, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, and we're just so far
And we're just so far
To get back where you are
[Chorus]
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all this love, can't waste it on another
So I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you
I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you, yeah
Straight in a straight line, running back to you
Six on the second hand to New Years' resolutions
And there's just no question what this man should do
Take all the time lost, all the days that I cost
Take what I took and give it back to you
[Chorus]
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you
[Verse 2]
I don't know what day it is, I had to check the paper
And I don't know the city, but it isn't home
But you say I'm lucky to love something that loves me
But I'm torn as I could be wherever I roam
Hear me say...
[Chorus]
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you
Yeah, oh, running back to you
Oh, running back to you, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, and we're just so far
And we're just so far
To get back where you are
[Chorus]
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all this love, can't waste it on another
So I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you
I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you, yeah
Straight in a straight line, running back to you
