[Verse 1] The long-awaited spring has passed away, The summer’s high, but it will fade, I know. Our bet on them was lost along the way, My hopes were high, but now they’re laid so low. We’re still on opposite ends of the line, And you do nothing to close the space between. Does that mean you just don’t want to try? I’ve known the answer for so long, it seems. I just refuse to let myself believe. [Chorus] Why do I still keep on waiting for something? Why do I cling to a hope I can’t name? Why do I think of you day after day? I know the answer. [Pause] [loudly, with pain, with tears in his voice, with defiance] And you? [Verse 2] In the heart of summer, I can feel the fall, My soul’s not warmed from your last winter’s chill. Another cold is coming, looming over all, My heart is tight with sorrow, heavy still. The time without you feels like time misspent, One single choice of yours put everything on hold. How did I let my life become so tied to your intent? Where do I start again? How do I face this cold? How do I find the self I used to know? [Chorus] Why do I still keep on waiting for something? Why do I cling to a hope I can’t name? Why do I think of you day after day? I know the answer. [Pause] [loudly, with pain, with tears in his voice, with defiance] And you?
