[Verse 1]
You're a porcelain doll that sits in a window
You hold your breath when people walk by
Safely kept behind rose-colored glass
Neatly tucked beneath the spotlight

[Chorus]
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love

[Verse 2]
You're a Cheshire cat, you think a smile hides the rest
Ambiguity won't always cover the facts
Where do you come from? Where do you go?
Must be lonely to be all alone

[Chorus]
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love

[Bridge]
And when they come, they'll accept you
Just the way you are
You'll sway under a moonlit spell
Of rocks and the sky and trees
Backdropped by the sea
Thin wild mercury
Thin wild mercury
Until then, you're...
[Chorus]
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
