I've been waiting
I've been waiting for this moment all my life
But it's not quite right
And this 'real'
It's impossible, if possible, at whose blind word
So clear but so unheard
I've been waiting
I've been waiting for this silence all night long
It's just a matter of time
To appear sad
With the same old decent lazy eye fixed to rest on you
Aim free but so untrue
Everyone's so intimately rearranged
Everyone's so focused clearly with such shine
Everyone's so intimately prearranged
Everyone's so focused clearly with such shine
Locked and loaded
Still the same old decent lazy eyes fixed through your gaze
That's why I said I relate
I said we really need to fight to relate
It's the room, the sun, and the sky
The room, the sun, and the sky
I've been waiting
I've been waiting for this moment
| SmilinJimmy (Canada) | Posted: Aug 27, 2010 - 19:42 Love this song. IMHO the opening 35 seconds rank among the top 10 best beginnings to a rock song ever. |

And here I thought Rock Music was all about being possessed by spirits of various sorts - chemically induced more often than not. Therefore, possessed = Good!  |
| Flipmode (Spartanburg, SC) | Posted: Apr 17, 2009 - 06:39 Godlike. 10-Rating from me. The new song "Panic Switch" is awesome as well. These guys (and gal) are so refreshing. I love em'. |

| holborne (New York) | Posted: Mar 03, 2009 - 12:43 Pretty good song, but I like their song Kissing Families a lot better. |

This is disturbing on several levels; mainly, how can any human being claim to know what God "likes"? I would think that God is "above" petty matters of opinion. Secondly, you seem to be claiming superiority of your opinion over all the rest of us; because God is on your side. I would hope that you would take Lincoln's sentiment to heart: you should try to be on God's side; not claim that God is on your side. Why do you feel the need to bolster your opinion, I wonder? Thirdly, it's grammatically incorrect: "God and I hate this song" would be the right way to say it. Unless, God goes in for bad grammar, too. Just say what you think, and maybe why — please! Sincerely, Neil I wouldn't worry about it. I'm pretty sure the "god" he's talking about is the same one Fred Phelps insists hates fags. They're both clearly idiots. |
| smackiepipe (Western North Carolina) | Posted: Feb 25, 2009 - 13:30 Gotta love a song about a Lazy Eye! the screaming at the end reminds me of Lindsey Buckingham. I can dig that. |
| walchenbach (Puget Sound) | Posted: Jan 30, 2009 - 23:02 New to me. Not withstanding the unnecessary screaming, pretty good track! |
| escapes (Atlanta) | Posted: Jan 12, 2009 - 12:18 I have played this song daily along with their Three Seed from same album more than daily for last month since first hearing, am hooked! |
| e_b | Posted: Jan 12, 2009 - 12:00 I'm not sure how God feels about this tune (or me either (yet) for that matter), but the Rock Band 2 makers must have a boner for it—they keep making me play it during my mystery set gigs! |

| sholtzma | Posted: Dec 30, 2008 - 07:56 This perfectly complemented my first cup of coffee this morning! |
| FlamingLotus (South Austin, baby!) | Posted: Dec 30, 2008 - 07:54 sounds like Sonic Pumpkins. |
| olmstem (Toronto Ontario) | Posted: Dec 30, 2008 - 07:54 Did anyone else think this was Teagan and Sarah at first? |

| Egrey (WASH, DC) | Posted: Dec 24, 2008 - 08:42 I am diggin' it. I like when the singer kicks it up a notch at the end.  |

| Kittee (NC) | Posted: Sep 26, 2008 - 12:07 This song is ok but this latest set is not to my liking at all.  Nm this song is not ok. It's never going to end... |
| Flipmode (Spartanburg, SC) | Posted: Sep 26, 2008 - 12:05 Man this is a catchy song. I don't care if he sounds like smashing pumpkins. That rhythm is hypnotic and makes me want to tap my foot. |

I was thinking the opposite. Haven't put this CD on for awhile now, mostly because the tunes on it have lost their shimmer. In fact, they're starting to sound self-indulgent and boring. Hmmm... |

| stevesaw (Northern VA USA) | Posted: Jul 01, 2008 - 06:49 This is being used in the baseball All Stars commercial. Great song, but they did a somewhat awkward job of using it. Hopefully it will give SP some (hopefully good) publicity. |

Not quite as shocking as finding out a guy (Nick Gilder) is singing "Hot Child in the City" but shocking nonetheless. |
| FlatCat (Chicago) | Posted: Jun 17, 2008 - 20:14 Why do people scream like that in rock songs? Ruins a nice song. |
| Deadwing (Cincinnati OH) | Posted: Jun 05, 2008 - 14:43 I could have sworn this was a woman singing. This is a guy??!! Trippy...
I thought exactly the same thing DOH |

| Droidac (Kitchener, Ontario) | Posted: Jun 05, 2008 - 10:25 This song bordered on being overplayed on our local radio, but thankfully did not quite make it. Still loving it! |
