Come take my hand Come walk again with me In my dreams of love But dreams will fade And all the plans we made Will go up in flame All in vain Every story has an end And we can't go on pretending Like we used to And I should go off by myself To preserve my mental health But I don't choose to I might lose you 'Cause I'm Waiting for the big one Waiting for the ground to start to shake Waiting for the big one When the walls start to crumble And love comes a tumblin' down I never knew I never saw the writing On the crumbling wall We had it all I've done the best I can Built you castles in the sand Just to keep you But the tide's coming in And I'll sink if I don't swim But I can't leave you I won't leave you 'Cause I'm Waiting for the big one Waiting for the walls to start to shake Waiting for the big one When my heart starts to break And the earth starts to quake Waiting for the big one They built this house of love On shaky ground Waiting for the big one When the walls start to crumble And love comes a tumblin' down And all this time I thought the world would turn And the sun would shine And you'd be mine But I can't find a trace Of the love in your face That I'm used to You don't need me anymore And I can walk right out that door If I choose to But I don't choose to
