Note: this album (and obviously song) are by Ben Folds as a

solo artist, not Ben Folds Five. The correction form doesn't allow

you to change the artist, so i put it here.*



and so

annie waits annie waits annie waits

for a call

from a friend



the same

it's the same, why's it always the same?

annie waits

for the last

time



the clock never stops never stops never waits

she's growing old

it's getting late

and so he forgot he forgot maybe not

maybe he's been seriously hurt

would that be worse?



headlights crest the hill

shadows pass her by and out of sight

annie sees in dreams

friday bingo, pigeons in the park

annie waits for the last time

just the same as the last time



annie says,

you see?

this is why i'd rather be

alone



and so

annie waits annie waits annie waits

for a call

from a friend

the same

it's the same

why's it always the same?

annie waits

as the last



headlights crest the hill

who will be the one forever more

annie i could be

if we're both still lonely when we're old

annie waits for the last time

just the same as the last time

annie waits for the last time

just the same as the last time

annie waits

but not for me
