[Verse 1]
I sit alone
In the parking lot where we sang along
The melody starts to fade
I'd shake my head
Every time you got the lyrics wrong
You kept me smiling for days

[Chorus]
So I don't wanna wait for the perfect time
As time ticks slowly by
And I don't wanna keep on wondering why
As time ticks slowly by

[Verse 2]
Days disappear
When you never let a moment last
Don't let them slip away
I see the cracks
Like a telescope on a mountainside
I'll still be here when the morning breaks

[Chorus]
So I don't wanna wait for thе perfect time
As timе ticks slowly by
And I don't wanna keep on wondering why
As time ticks slowly by
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for the perfect time
As time ticks slowly by
And I don't wanna keep on wondering why
As time ticks slowly by
