Lyrics:

I'm waiting for bad news to come
Sat here on my own
I know which way it's coming from
I've left every single light on
And the doors wide open
Just hoping
For bad news to come

I'm waiting for bad news to come
My toes frozen numb
Teeth bared to the gums
Some things will always go wrong
But some go nowhere
I don't care
Here waiting for bad news to come

I'm waiting for bad news to come
For someday or someone
To somehow be begun
It's all new here yet nothing seems young
And everything wrong
How I long for bad news to come

I just wanted you to want me darling
I just wanted you to want me darling
I just wanted you to want me darling
What did you have to go and need me for?

Waiting for bad news to come
Dismantling the hours as they roll on and on
Pondering the deeds left undone
The words spoken but not sung
Waiting for bad news to come

There's more grey in your eyes
Than there is in your hair
There's plenty of time
I just don't know where
I guess it had to be you
But did it have to be now
And did it have to be here
When bad news is coming round?

I just wanted you to want me darling...

Bad news sits outside
And taps on the glass
It says be true to my memory
Don't be true to my past
For as the poetry of adolescence
Becomes the bullet points of adulthood
There are no signposts, just suggestions
And none of them any good
So we wake without desire
And turn our collars up to the rain
Bad news seems better than always staying the same
But the light keeps on fading
And I grow tired of explaining
So I'm waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting

I just wanted you to want me darling...
