Annie Waits Lyrics - Ben Folds Five

And so Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits 

For a call from a friend 

The same, it's the same, why's it always the same? 

Annie waits for the last time 

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits 

She's growing old, it's getting late 

And so he forgot, he forgot maybe not 

Maybe he's been seriously hurt, would that be worse? 

Headlights crest the hill 

Shadows pass her by and her out of sight, ooh 

Annie sees in dreams 

Friday bingo, pigeons in the park 

Annie waits for the last time 

Just the same as the last time 

Annie says, "You see this is why I'd rather be alone" 

And so Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits 

For a call from a friend 

The same, its the same, why's it always the same? 

Annie waits as the last 

Headlights crest the hill 

Who will be the one forever more? Ooh, ooh 

Annie, I could be 

If we're both still lonely when we're old 

Annie waits for the last time 

Just the same as the last time 

Annie waits for the last time 

Just the same as the last time 

Annie waits but not for me
