<b>We Used To Wait</b> by <i>The Arcade Fire</i><br />

I used to write

I used to write letters

I used to sign my name

I used to sleep at night

Before the flashing lights 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 something pure can last

Hope that something pure can last

Now it seems 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

We used to wait

Sometimes it never came

We used to wait

I'm 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 to 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 they never came

We used to wait

Sometimes they never came

We used to wait

I'm 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

Now we're screaming "sing the chorus again!"

We used to wait for it.

We used to wait for it.

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!
