about

Most of these songs were written when a bunch of close friends' marriages were on the rocks or dissolving and I was just struck by the difficulty of making that kind of thing work. Dave and I were in an international long-distance relationship for 4 years and early on we had our ups and downs, so we could be where some of our friends are now if we hadn't waited and worked it out. Most of those friends are better off in their new lives, but it's not easy to extract yourself from a marriage. We're glad we hung on.

lyrics

Carefully waiting F G
You stand up against the wall
When all doubts are fading
You put your silence above it all
You listen and take it in
I wanted you before the fall

And when you came home C G F
I wanted to take you in
You’d been a long time gone
Thought you were back again
You were alive with the promise of place to begin
and so did I know and so did I not know

You say that time only moves on F G
I say it only moves within G F
You waited and it all worked out F G
You stayed it up and tied it in G F
When somebody calls you F G
You better have time for it. G F
I’m not sure that you did F G

Chorus

So tired of waiting F G C
So tired of time F G C
I’ve wasted of yours
I’ve wasted of mine
Wasted of yours
Wasted of mine
Wasted of yours
I wasted of mine
