I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me
Yeah when the monsters they won't go
The windows, they wont close
I'll pretend to see what you see
How long, I say how long, will you re-live the things that are gone?
Oh yeah the devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
You know its funny how freedom can make us feel contained
Yeah when the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking
I know if you could snap both your fingers than you'd escape with me
But in the meantime I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak, or scream
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
Yeah when the monsters they won't go
The windows, they wont close
I'll pretend to see what you see
How long, I say how long, will you re-live the things that are gone?
Oh yeah the devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
You know its funny how freedom can make us feel contained
Yeah when the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking
I know if you could snap both your fingers than you'd escape with me
But in the meantime I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak, or scream
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you

This song is about loving someone so much you are able to give them the space and time to make choices for themselves--even if it means the relationship will suffer.
Love and patience--how can someone not come back?! Impossible!
Best song on the album!!!
It may, though, be called waste because the person gives his/her all to someone and then they dump 'em once the weather changes. How many of us have already experienced that...some of us have repeatedly.
yeah. right there with ya<br />
