This song was written after a lone night, waiting on the calls of others. It's a pain to wait and it seems that being frustrated with that is just a waste of time. I mean, you can always use time better than that; how about a song?!

Lyrics
I wait for you
All night long
It's not right
It's so very wrong
You're expecting things
You can't afford
And I don't want them
Any-more
Wasting time
In my life
Just praying
You'll arrive
I won't lose sight
I should be alright
If you're not here
With me tonight
But I'll try, yeah I'll try
Just a little harder
To survive
It seems to me
That what I want
Is complicated
But it's really not
One simple thing
Is all I need
An act of faith
To help me believe
Wasting time
In my life
Just praying
You'll arrive
I won't lose sight
I should be alright
If you're not here
With me tonight
But I'll try, yeah I'll try
Just a little harder
To survive
All of these emotions
Keep calling me back
It's alright, it's okay
'Cause I'll keep on waiting
On survival
One more day
Just one more day
