Complete Lyrics:

Verse 1:
We shared the world
like a private joke
Laughed our way
out of hues and cries
Inhaled under
the Bridge of Sighs
It's not the way it was
The weather came
you were skating on fire
And love spilled out
like antifreeze
The ice floes melted
in separate seas
If I was slow to learn
I will wait for another turn

Chorus:
I've been standing in line so long
I've been standing in line so long
I've been weighing the shape
of things to come

Verse 2:
You draw your lines
from memory's cage
I write songs for a jealous god
Two spoiled kids and a velvet rod
It's not the way it was
And I'd pursue you
through any hell
I'd swim upstream
'til I find the source
Dam the Mississippi
and change its course
If it was up to me
If it was mine to turn

Chorus:
I've been standing in line so long
I've been standing in line so long
I've been weighing the shape
of things to come
I've been standing in line so long
I've been wondering what went wrong
I've been weighing the shape
of things to come

Bridge:
You'll come to
Sooner or later
You'll come to
You'll come to
Sooner or later
You'll come to

Chorus:
I've been standing in line so long
I've been wondering what went wrong
I've been weighing the shape
of things to come
I've been standing in line so long
I've been wondering what went wrong
I've been trying to understand

Outro:
And I'm not gonna leave
And I'm not gonna leave
