Surely I Can’t Wait
Truth is that I'm better off I know
But can't stand the pain
You rake yourself across the coals
Then you start a love song
I give up, I give in
End result: I find that I'm competitive
Shave my head and off I go
Lookin like a lost cause

But could you be the one
Right away
Surely I can't wait for another

I can't stand the pain
Accurate if on the nose
Something about a backbone
I give up, I give in
I resolve: I'll try to be a better friend
Hand upon the collarbone
Waiting for the applause

So could you be the onе
Right away
Surely I can't wait for another

Pleasе please, one more time
I can't stand the pain
Sing along in monotone
It's just another love song
I give up, I give in
Signing off - It's tired and repetitive
Place one hand upon the phone
Swear i'm not a lost cause

So could you be the one
Right away
Surely I can't wait for anothe
Now could you be
So could you be the one
Sign your name
Surely I can't wait
Be the one
Right away
Surely I can't wait for another
Surely I can't t wait for another
