[Verse 1]
Sing me a song, you could be
Tell me a tale, just like me
Don't turn it my way, happy and free
I'll turn it to shit, happy and free, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
All that I do is wait for you
All that I do is wait for you

[Chorus]
I can't get along with all your friends
Don't know how to act, that's all there is
Why do I accept the things you say?
You know what to change but not in what way
How long must I wait? How long must I wait?
How long must I wait? How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?

[Verse 2]
I am not you, we could have
I'm almost through, great success
It's about time, such a success
That you came through, at no expense, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, all that I do is wait for you
All that I do is wait for you

[Chorus]
I can't get away from all your friends
I'm not coming back, that's all there is
Why do I accept the things you say?
You know what to change but not in what way
How long must I wait? How long must I wait?
How long must I wait? How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?

The Strokes

The Strokes burst onto the scene at a time when rock fans were desperate for an alternative to the rap-rock that was dominating the airwaves. That the band lived up to expectations after being hailed ‘saviors of guitar rock’ solely based on the strength of a three song EP is a testament to the quality of their flawless debut, July 2001’s Is This It.

Ultimately, they are a band that truly relies on the strength of the entire lead singer Julian Casablancas, lead guitarist Nick Valensi, drummer Fabrizio Moretti, guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., and bassist Nikolai Fraiture. However, much of The Strokes' output has been influenced by the domineering vision of Casablancas' songwriting.

Before he took a small step back on their third album, January 2006’s First Impressions of Earth, and then isolated himself to record March 2011’s Angles, Casablancas was involved in almost every step of The Strokes' recording process. He wrote all of the lyrics and the music on their first two albums and was constantly involved in the mixing of the records.
