They Wait

She waits for her time to come For the world to hum on a different note He waits for every Friday night To wet his appetite and take the antidote Ain't it something how the night can shine While you stand in line behind a velvet rope Ain't it something when the morning comes And desire becomes a little speck of hope Somebody told her she was beautiful Every time she turned around But when she opened up her mouth to speak It clearly didn't make a sound Somebody told her she was dangerous And she should watch the way she dressed Well that always seemed a little strange to us And at her worst she did her best She waits for her time to come For the world to hum on a different note He waits for every Friday night To wet his appetite and take the antidote Ain't it something how the night can shine While you stand in line behind a velvet rope Ain't it something when the morning comes And desire becomes a little speck of hope Somebody told him you're a man now Hide your tears behind your fist There's nothing left to understand now You'll keep your tension in your wrist So he stepped out in the real world And didn't know to ask for help Until he stumbled on a real girl And she'd been down the road herself And he waits for the end to start For her to break his heart To hear the truth at last She waits for the sun to rise Behind his midnight eyes And know which storm had passed And ain't it something how the night can shine Through a bottle of wine against a bedroom wall Ain't it something when her eyes light up And it's exactly enough, and you can let yourself fall They moved together through a thousand little storms And somehow the big one never came Used all their anger up to keep each other warm enough Not every dark cloud looks the same
