Lyrics: Ben Folds Five. Annie Waits.

And so Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call from a friend
The same, it's the same, why's it always the same?
Annie waits for the last time

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits
She's growing old, it's getting late
And so he forgot, he forgot maybe not
Maybe he's been seriously hurt, would that be worse?

Headlights crest the hill
Shadows pass her by and her out of sight, ooh
Annie sees in dreams
Friday bingo, pigeons in the park

Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time

Annie says, "You see this is why I'd rather be alone"

And so Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call from a friend
The same, its the same, why's it always the same?
Annie waits as the last

Headlights crest the hill
Who will be the one forever more? Ooh, ooh
Annie, I could be
If we're both still lonely when we're old

Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time

Annie waits but not for me
