Annie Waits Lyrics - Ben Folds

And so 

Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits 

For a call 

From a friend 

The same 

It's the same 

Was 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 out of sight 

(ooh ooh) 

Annie sees her 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 

It's the same 

Was it always the same? 

Annie waits as the last 

Headlights crest the hill 

Who will be the one for evermore? 

(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
