We Used To Wait Lyrics - The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

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 

Photos 

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 again" 

We used to wait for it 

We used to wait for it 

Now we're screaming "sing the again" 

I used to wait for it 

I used to wait for it 

Hear my voice screaming "sing the again" 

Wait for it 

Wait for it 

Wait for it
