Michael Franti & Spearhead - I'll Be Waiting Lyrics

The best things in life aren't things
They're living and breathing
The best things in life aren't things
They're something you can believe in

Well, do you believe me?
Well, do you believe me when I say
Tonight won’t last for long?
And soon it will be gone

But I won’t leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

The best things in life aren't things
They're laughing and crying
The best things in life aren't things
They're frightened, they’re still fighting

Well, do you believe me?
Well, do you believe me, yeah, when I say
Tonight won’t last for long?
Soon it will be gone

But I won’t leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

You said that you were leaving
But it’s alright (alright), it’s alright (alright)
You said that you were sorry
But it’s alright (alright), yes, it’s alright (alright)

The best things in life aren't things
They're broken and bleeding
The best things in life aren't things
They’re chosen to believe in

So whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

And I say, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh
Eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh
Eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh

I say, it’s alright (eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh),
it’s alright (eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh),
It’s alright, it’s gonna be alright now
