Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a golden autumn day returning
Where each moment never is the same
And pure joy, it sometimes comes with patience
When I'm waiting on, waiting game
When I'm waitin' on, waiting game
[Verse 2]
Must be a reason for all this inaction
Doesn't mean that everything must change (Everything must change)
Sometimes I'm looking for perfection (Ooh, lookin' for perfection)
When I'm waiting on, waiting game
When I'm waitin' on, waiting game
[Verse 3]
I am the observer who is observing
I am the brother of the snake
I am the serpent filled with venom
A god of love and a god of hate
[Verse 4]
There is a presence deep within you (Ooh, deep within you)
Sometimes they call it higher flame
(Sometimes they call it higher flame)
And the leaves come tumblin' down, remember (Remember)
I'll be waitin' on, waiting game
I'll be waitin' on, waiting game
[Verse 5]
I am the observer who's observing
I am the brother of the snake
I am the serpent filled with venom
A god of love and a god of hate
[Verse 6]
There is a presence deep within you (Ooh, deep within you)
Some people call it higher power in flame (Higher power in flame)
When the leaves come tumblin' down, remember
(Remember, remember)
I'll be waitin' on, waiting game
I'll be waitin' on, waiting game
[Verse 7]
Waitin' on the waiting game (Waiting game)
Waitin' on (Waitin' on the waiting game)
(Waitin' on, waiting game) Waitin' on
(Waitin' on) Waitin' on
(Waitin' on, waitin' on)
And then I'll come, the waiting game (Then I'll come)
I will come, the waiting game (Waiting game)
(Waitin' game)
(Waitin' game)
(Waitin' game)
