[Verse 1] I walk alone through empty streets at night The city hums but nothing feels quite right I'm waiting for a moment that won't come A future that was promised but left undone [Pre-Chorus] And I keep asking, keep on asking [Chorus] When will it be, when will it be? This life I'm supposed to lead When will I see, when will I see? The person I'm meant to be Time keeps slipping, always drifting When will it be? [Verse 2] I pass the places where I used to dream But everything's not quite what it seemed The words I spoke just echo back to me A shadow of who I thought I'd be [Pre-Chorus] And I keep asking, keep on asking [Chorus] When will it be, when will it be? This life I'm supposed to lead When will I see, when will I see? The person I'm meant to be Time keeps slipping, always drifting When will it be? [Bridge] There's a gap between the now and then A space I can't seem to cross again Waiting for a sign, waiting for a change But everything just stays the same [Final Chorus] When will it be, when will it be? When will it be, when will it be? Time keeps slipping, always drifting When will it be? [Outro] When will it be... When will it be...
