Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams (2005) - Sitting Waiting Wishing lyrics

  • Now I was sitting waiting wishing
    that you believed in superstitions
    then maybe you'd see the signs
    But Lord knows that this world is cruel
    and I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
    and in loving somebody don't make them love you

    Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
    Must I always be playing playing the fool?

    I sing ya songs I dance a dance
    I gave ya friends all a chance
    putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
    and maybe you been through this before
    but its my first time
    so please ignore
    the next few lines cause they're directed at you

    I cant always be waiting waiting on you
    I cant always be playing playing your fool
    I keep playing your cards
    but its not my scene
    wont this plot not twist?
    I have no place to read?
    Keep building me up, then shooting me down
    well im already down
    Just wait a minute
    Just sitting waiting
    Just wait a minute
    Just sitting waiting

    Well if I was in your position
    Id put down all my ammunition
    I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long
    But Lord knows that I'm not you
    and If I was I wouldn't be so cruel
    cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do

    Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
    Must I always be playing playing the fool?
    No I cant always be waiting waiting on you
    I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool
