waiting for my real life to begin

Colin Haye was one of the band "Men At Work," and his entire album "Going Somewhere" is phenomenal. His song I Just Don't Think That I'll Ever Get Over You was featured in the movie Garden State. That movie has a great sound track, by the way.

If you're not familiar with Waiting For My Real Life To Begin, you should listen to it now. This particular song was featured in an episode of Scrubs as well, but I heard it on this album first. Anyway, this is my favorite song these days. I can't listen to it without tears coming to my eyes.

Any minute now, my ship is coming in

I'll keep checking the horizon

I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing

Come crashing down down down, on me

And you say, be still my love

Open up your heart

Let the light shine in

But don't you understand

I already have a plan

I'm waiting for my real life to begin

When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened

But in my dreams, I slew the dragon

And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane

I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again

And you say, just be here now

Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin

Let me throw one more dice

I know that I can win

I'm waiting for my real life to begin

Any minute now, my ship is coming in

I'll keep checking the horizon

And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call

It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon

It's just that times are lean

And you say, be still my love

Open up your heart, let the light shine in

Don't you understand

I already have a plan

I'm waiting for my real life to begin

On a clear day I can see

See a very long way
