I punish myself with the same old stick
  I want to believe it so badly I deceive myself
  Forgetting reality
  Ignoring the fact that you're altogether someplace else
  Forgetting reality

  But I swear here and now
  The truth shall be mine
  And surrender to my prayer
  The weapon is time

  I'll play your waiting game
  I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
  I'll play your waiting game
  I'm gonna win this game my friend
  And forget you in the end

  Your memory seems like a living thing
  I never know if I'm imagining
  I look at your face and I know that's impossible
  Forgetting it's just a dream
  Now I'm hearing your voice saying anything is possible
  Forgetting it's just a dream

  And I still can't say why
  You keep invading my mind
  But this uncontrolled fixation
  Grows weaker with time

  A cloud of unknowing floats between you and me
  A trickle of love still flows between you and me
  But we live in different galaxies

  But I swear here and now
  Your heart will be mine
  You'll surrender to my love
  My weapon is time
  And your wall of resistance
  I will slowly undermine
  While your uncontrolled fixation
  Grows stronger with time

  I'll play your waiting game
  I'm gonna win the win the waiting game
  I'll play your waiting game
  I'm gonna win this game my friend
  And I'll be with you in the end

  I'll play, yes I will
