We Used to Wait

We Used To Wait - Arcade Fire (拱廊之火)

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 left 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

And 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

Ooo we used to wait

Ooo we used to wait

Ooo we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

Ooo we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

Ooo we used to wait

Still moving through the pain

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 through 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

Ooo we used to wait

Ooo we used to wait

Ooo we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

Ooo we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

Ooo we used to wait

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 chorus again

We used to wait for it

We used to wait for it

Now we're screaming

Sing the chorus again

I used to wait for it

I used to wait for it

Hear my voice screaming

Sing the chorus again

Wait for it

Wait for it

Wait for it
