We Used To Wait Lyrics

Performed by The Arcade Fire

I used to write
I used to write letters, I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing light settled deep in my brain

But by the time we met, by the time we met
The times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart, I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that sonething pure can last
Hope that something pure can last

It may seem strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive

We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown

We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait

Sometimes it never came
Sometimes it never came
Still moving through the pain

I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again, gonna move through the pain

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last

We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait

Sometimes it never came
Sometimes it never came
Still moving through the pain

We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait

We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
And now they're screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"

We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
And now we're screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"

I used to wait for it
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming:"Sing the chorus again!"

Wait for it!
Wait for it!
Wait for it!
