This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Endlessly walk
Anxiously waiting
You finally notice I'm gone
When will you talk?
Why do you whisper?
A bomb that pretends to go off.
(You wait anyway)
Try to relax
But into your coma
Explode when you notice I'm gone
(You wait anyway)
Paid for by flesh
Not quite expecting
Twisted inside of your soul
(You wait anyway)
And you wait anyway
And you wait anyway
Moments reversed
Live like a memory
Exist till you open your eyes
(You wait anyway)
Perched on the edge of
Something you don't fell
You realize you waited too long
And you wait anyway
And you wait anyway
And you wait anyway
And you wait
And you wait
And you wait anyway
Anxiously waiting
You finally notice I'm gone
When will you talk?
Why do you whisper?
A bomb that pretends to go off.
(You wait anyway)
Try to relax
But into your coma
Explode when you notice I'm gone
(You wait anyway)
Paid for by flesh
Not quite expecting
Twisted inside of your soul
(You wait anyway)
And you wait anyway
And you wait anyway
Moments reversed
Live like a memory
Exist till you open your eyes
(You wait anyway)
Perched on the edge of
Something you don't fell
You realize you waited too long
And you wait anyway
And you wait anyway
And you wait anyway
And you wait
And you wait
And you wait anyway
