From the recording Until the Oceans Rise, Vol. 2
Lyrics
Love is like a roller coaster
Anyone can ride just get in line and wait your turn
If you’re careless you might take a fall
If you’re lucky, you’ll go up and down
You were always self-assured
Anyone could see that you were born into this world
But somehow understood it all
As if you rose out of the ground
Now none of that matters
As we toast the bride and groom
Pardon me while all my dreams get shattered
I was only late to bloom
Yea they say the waiting is the hardest part
It might have been too easy for this broken heart
Yea they say the waiting is the hardest part
But not for me
Love is like a ten-cent soldier
Anyone can buy it but it’s hard to keep around
And the longer that you hold it down
The more you might get out of it
You were always something strange
Anyone could see that you were constantly in change
Becoming what you found the world
Was missing, so you filled it up
Now none of that matters
As you dance across the floor
Pardon me while all my thoughts get scattered
Don’t know what I kept ‘em for
Yea they say the waiting is the hardest part
It might have been too easy for this broken heart
Yea they say the waiting is the hardest part
But not for me
This ain’t hard to understand
I kept quiet and you found another man
Took too long to make a stand
Patience ain’t a virtue unless things go as planned
Love is like a rolling thunder
You can feel it coming right before it shakes your bones
It’s already moved on but you still tremble
At the thought of it
You were always one step forward
I was right behind, and we were children in the wind
Arms wide open taking in
The world like it was something new
Now none of that matters
As your father gives his speech
Pardon me but I feel broken and battered
Like you were always out of reach
Yea they say the waiting is the hardest part
It might have been too easy for this broken heart
Yea they say the waiting is the hardest part
But not for me
