i hoped we would be farther by this point   you said were not already there   we're in town for christy's wedding   and in the place where i met you      and i don't wanna be waiting   for the time to be right   and i don't wanna be watching   as our life passes by   and i don't wanna be wishing   i was here when i die      we don't have to talk about what hasn't come true   it never made a difference to our love   we can live here all of our lives   i guess we cant change where we're from      and i don't wanna be waiting   for the time to be right (time to be right)   and i don't wanna be watching   as our life passes by (life passes by)   and i don't wanna be wishing   i was here when i die      sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
