We Used to Wait

One night in San Diego, narrated by Arcade Fire's "We Used to Wait"

I used to write

I used to write letters

I used to sign my name

I used to sleep at night

Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain

But by the time we met
The times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart
I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was left standing in the wilderness downtown

Now our lives are changing fast

Hope that something pure can last

It seems strange

How we used to wait for letters to arrive

But what's stranger still 

Is how something so small can keep you alive

We used to wait

We used to waste hours just walkin around

We used to wait

Ooooo we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

Ooooo we used to wait

Sometimes it never came

Ooooo we used to wait

Still moving through the pain

I'm gonna write a letter to my true love

I'm gonna sign my name

Like a patient on a table

I Wanna walk again

Gonna move through the pain

Now our lives are changing fast

We used to wait for it

Now we're screaming

Sing the Chorus again
