You said it all depends      on the meaning of ‘friends’
And the way you look in my eyes

If it’s a matter of tense      I should have had more sense
How can I see when I feel so blind?

How can I need what you need me to be?
How can I see what you want me to see?

If it’s a matter of time      Before you change your mind
Would you tell me before it all goes down?

You’re always looking around      While you wait to be found
While I’m just enjoying the passage of time

How can I need what you need me to be?   
How can I see what you’ve already seen?
What you’ve already seen
What you’ve already seen…     

But I can’t wait too long     
I can’t find you if you’ve already gone     
Can’t wait too long Can’t wait too long 
Can’t wait too long for the scorecard
No I can’t wait           
For the CHANGING OF THE GUARD  

If I could change your mind      Leave this world behind
Would you lead me to something new?

Could you seem contrite            After another fight
After you’ve made your grand debut?

How can I need what you need me to be?   
How can I see what you’ve already seen?
What you’ve already seen,   
What you’ve already seen…     

But I can’t wait too long 
I can’t find you if you’ve already gone     
|Can’t wait too long Can’t wait too long   
Can’t wait too long for the scorecard
No I can’t wait 
For the CHANGING OF THE GUARD  

|Can’t wait too long Can’t wait too long   
Can’t wait too long for the scorecard
No I can’t wait 
For the CHANGING OF THE GUARD
