The Get Up Kids - Let the Reigns Go Loose Lyrics

Can you take the bullet back?
Change it to a heart attack
my wish, I wonder could it be true?
Sick fits form a former home
Misfits under mistletoe
One year spent waiting, waiting for you

[Chorus:]
This isn't what i wished for
This isn't what i knew
What can waiting do?

Date: Fall 1989
Daydream of a valentine
I couldn't wait to be added alone
jump forward to twelve years time
those dreams and a sad decline
I'd just thought leaving
Would leave it alone

[Chorus]
This isn't what i wished for
This isn't what i knew
What can waiting do?

What did we prove?
Didn't we make this all come true?
(I just keep hanging on for more)
Didn't we choose?
(I just keep on waiting at the door)

How did we lose?
Where did we let the reigns go loose?
(I just keep hanging on for more)
Didn't we choose?
(I just keep on waiting at the door)

How did we lose?
Didn't we let the reigns go loose?
(I just keep hanging on for more)
What if we knew?
(I just keep on waiting at the door)

How did we lose?
Didn't we let the reigns go loose?

Can you take the bullet back
