I sat around for hours on end
Before an end so clearly predetermined
I shall no longer play a part of your equation
I missed your boat passing time
Cause we must have stayed off shore
To avoid sad striations
Avoidance has been your trump

Still i wait for you
This is the best that i can do
To throw my energy into your apathy
It's the best that i can do

I once had pride i once had guts
But i gave up all that shit for the big easy
So now i rely on you to get me through this
I once believed i had a name
But my name was changed
To the numbers on my resume
So i hope that you're impressed

I did it all for you
It's the best that i could do
A little song and dance can have its consequences
It's the best that i can do
To sit around the phone
The patience waits for you
This is the best that i can do
This is the best that i can do
I sweat it out for hours on end
For an answer clearly predetermined
I sweat it out for hours on end
For an end so obviously predetermined
