Waiting for the rain to start Looking at the sky Trying to find some sympathy I can't seem to find inside And I'm trying not to think of you And ways we used to be But I keep flashing in on your jaw line To tell you the truth, I'd like to kick you out of me But I'm stuck here Waiting for the shoe to drop Yeah, waiting for a phone to ring Somebody might need me again Yeah, I'm stuck here Waiting for the paint to dry Waiting on the love of my life Come on and need me again Yeah, I thought all the growing was over That I'd hit some kind of stride So I went and I put my guard down You all came and hit me from behind Hit me from behind And you think I would have learned all this The first time around That pushing only busts stuff Lying makes me feel obnoxious And you, yeah, baby you are clearly still no good for me at all You're no damn good for me I said, you're no damn good And I'm stuck here Waiting for the shoe to drop Yeah, waiting for the phone to ring Want someone to need me again Yeah, I'm stuck here Waiting for the paint to dry Everybody look at the folk singer waiting on the love of her life Come on and need me So rest eludes me Now I'm back where I've already been Waiting for the rain to start Looking at the sky
