Ben Folds Five and Ben Folds Lyrics
"Annie Waits"

And so
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call from a friend.

The same, it's the same, why's it always the same
Annie waits, for the last time.

The clock
Never stops, never stops, never waits.
She growing old
It's getting late

And so,
He forgot, he forgot, maybe not
Maybe he's been seriously hurt
That'd be worse

Headlights crest the hill
Shadows passing by out of sight

Annie sleeps and dreams
Friday bingo, pigeons in the park

Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie says, "You see, this is why I'd rather be alone."

And so
Annie wait, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call from a friend

The same, it's the same, why's it always the same?
Annie waits as the last
Headlights crest the hill
Who will be the one forever more?

Annie waits, I could be
If we're both still loney when we're old
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same, as the last time

Annie waits for the last time,
Just the same for the last time
Annie waits but not for me.
