Waiting in Canada Lyrics

every tear you cry 
every doubt you have 
all of these things will pass away 
all of your big mistakes 
your little old heart would break 
i'm wishing that i could take them back 
write down the things you don't want 
burn them in a glass 
write down the things you dream of 
make a paper plane that flies to heaven 

and buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby 
or drive your car all night by just starlight to canada 
that's where i'll be 
waiting 

all of the empty rooms 
all of the silent space 
every warm embrace is you 
nothing is like it was 
there's nobody here but us 
i have been filled right up with this 
write down the words of sadness 
burn them in a cup 
write down the things you've wanted 
throw them to the wind that's soaring up to heaven 

and buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby 
or drive your car all night by just starlight 
to canada 
oh buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby 
or drive your car all night by just starlight 
to canada 
that's where i'll be 
waiting 
waiting
