So here I'm standing, outside a bus stop in the rain
As my clothes soak through I figure out
I've been stood up again
Why am I waiting, it's been about an hour or so
So I give up and get a ticket for
The late night special show

Three out of five stars, I guess it's pretty okay
And as I walk back out the doors I
Guess I didn't waste the day
And I see someone, looks cute and looks kinda shy
But I get there and she's in the arms
Of some damn skinny guy

And the rain comes down
And my heart slows down
And the street lights give
Her a golden crown
And I won't get her
But one day they'll see
That there's one more girl
Out there just like me,
But

=CHORUS=
I'm still waiting for my girl who waited,
Yeah, I'm still waiting for my girl who waited,
I never wanted much but I still have one fantasy
That one day there will be a girl who'll wait for me
=/CHORUS=

So I get home and, surprise surprise, I am late
And despite all the shouting I'm not
Worked up about my fate
I'm off to bed now, lock my room from the inside
And think about what I would need to turn
This black and loveless tide

Tomorrow morning, get a text from my best friends
There's some new science fiction film on,
See it before it ends
And as we walk home, there's the same girl from before
But she ain't hanging off a boy and she's
Not smiling any more

And the golden crown
That shows off her eyes
Flickers as the light
On and in her dies
And I go to her
But she runs away
Seems familiar
I won't pry today
But

=CHORUS=
I'm still waiting for my girl who waited,
Yeah, I'm still waiting for my girl who waited,
I never wanted much but I still have one fantasy
That one day there will be a girl who'll wait for me
=/CHORUS=

=BRIDGE=
And like I'm drifting deep in space
Can't quite remember any more
There is a name that fits her face
One that I can't help but adore
Don't want to get run over here
I'm not somebody they would save
I snap my fingers, give a cheer
'Cause fortune favours all the brave

And I am sometimes brave
=/BRIDGE=
(Overlaps with last brave)
=CHORUS=
I'm still waiting for my girl who waited,
Yeah, I'm still waiting for my girl who waited,
I never wanted much but I still have one fantasy
That one day there will be a girl who'll wait for me

Yeah, I'm still waiting for my girl who waited,
And as she stops it feels like it's fated
Underneath a secondary school oak tree
She says tomorrow she'll be waiting there for me
=/CHORUS=
