[Verse 1]
Stranger in the rain outside my glass
Every night you pass, a vision in my mind
Your hand reaches out for the taking
Danger tantalizingly near
But somebody like you can be too heartbreaking for me to bear
All the birds are singing out to please take care

[Chorus]
We wait too long
For the moment to be right
We wait too long
For the perfect danger to alight
Wait too long

[Verse 2]
I regret to say that it's so sad
Never gotten round to things that I imagine that we try
Waiting for a message to draw near
That can dam the tears that well up in the twinkling of an eye

[Chorus]
We wait too long
For the moment to be right
We wait too long
For the perfect danger to alight
Wait too long
[Verse 3]
In tone, our common prayer is so contrived
Ugly rumors have yet gathered, yeah, things are still polite
But I will soon find something wrong for you to find in me
I will bend the melody until it bleeds

[Chorus]
We wait too long
For the moment to be right
We wait too long
For the perfect danger to alight
Wait too long
