You're a porcelain doll that sits in a window
You hold your breath when people walk by
Safely kept behind rose-colored glass
Neatly tucked beneath the spotlight

Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love

You're a Cheshire cat, you think a smile hides the rest
Ambiguity will always cover the facts
Where do you come from, where do you go
Must be lonely to be all alone

Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love

Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love

And when they come, they'll accept you just the way you are
You'll swear under a moonlit sky
About rocks in the sky, trees backed up by the sea
Thin wild mercury, thin wild mercury

Until then you're waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love

Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love
