Waiting in Canada
every tear you cry every doubt you have all of these things will pass away all of your big mistakes your little old heart would break i’m wishing that i could take them back write down the things you don’t want burn them in a glass write down the things you dream of make a paper plane that flies to heaven and buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby or drive your car all night by just starlight to canada that’s where i’ll be waiting all of the empty rooms all of the silent space every warm embrace is you nothing is like it was there’s nobody here but us i have been filled right up with this write down the words of sadness burn them in a cup write down the things you’ve wanted throw them to the wind that’s soaring up to heaven and buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby or drive your car all night by just starlight to canada oh buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby or drive your car all night by just starlight to canada that’s where i’ll be waiting waiting
