Twenty-five hours a day, searching eight days a week
How long do I gotta wait 'til I find the love that I need?
Now every second she takes feels like a century
How long do I gotta wait 'til I find the love that I need?

Well, maybe she's out tonight
Maybe she's stuck in traffic
Maybe I'll wait a while for the last train home in case she's on it
Utterly sad and lost, can't keep on holding me back
I don't wanna miss my chance, maybe she's standing 'round the corner

They say, they say I should be more patient
And they said don't go look for love
But I said they're all cr-cr-crazy
Why wouldn't I look for the one I want?

Now every second she takes feels like a century
How long do I gotta wait 'til I find the love that I need?

Well, maybe tonight's the night
That she could come out of nowhere
Maybe the stars align, a perfect time, well, I'm still hoping
That one of these sliding doors will get me one step closer
I don't wanna miss my chance as she walks past and it's all over

Yeah, they say I should be more patient
And they said there's no need to rush
But I said they're all crazy
Why wouldn't I look for the one I want?

It's been a long time coming, oh
I just want to fall for something
It's been a long time coming, oh
Don't say it's all for nothing
Don't say it's all for nothing
Don't say it's all for nothing, no, no
Don't say it's all for nothing, yeah
Yeah, yeah

You'll see him fall for something
Been a long time coming
