The needle on my record player has been wearing thin
This record has been playing since the day you've been with him
No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyways
Remember the time we wrote our names upon the wall
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song
 
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long to see you
 
Maybe it's for the best
Maybe it's not for anythingIt wouldn't be so bad to take this right from me
No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyway
Remember the time we wrote our names upon the wall
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song
 
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long to see you
 
How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
How many times I've tried
Blatant mistakes of your design
 
How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
Blatant mistakes of your design
 
Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I wanted too long to see you
 
I've had so many chances
Turn my back and I ran away
I've had so many chances to see you
