Original song lyrics - No More Waiting. Debut CD release by Drew Vics.

It's in your style
the way you look up at me and smile
It's in your way
something that simple words can't explain

It's in everything you said
It's in everything you did
And it's gone right to my head
The truth of the matter is...

I'm doing the best I ever did
Being with you makes all the difference in the world
Ever since I was a kid
I prayed that I would find, the perfect girl
The truth of the matter is, I did.

I must confess
I never thought I'd get out of that mess
And you're partly to blame
for turning this spark into this flame

It's in everything you said
It's in everything you did
And it's gone right to my head
The truth of the matter is...

I'm doing the best I ever did
Being with you makes all the difference in the world
Ever since I was a kid
I prayed that I would find, the perfect girl
The truth of the matter is...

If you hold on to me
and I hold on to you
Look at all that we can be
Look at all that we can do

It's in everything you said
It's in everything you did
And it's gone right to my head
The truth of the matter is...

I'm doing the best I ever did
Being with you makes all the difference in the world
Ever since I was a kid
I prayed that I would find, the perfect girl
The truth of the matter is...

I did

Physics for Two

Here's a little something I learned about you
it takes more than science to uncover the truth
about the time and space that you occupy

No one else can fit in your shoes
and that's fine by me cause you're a dream come true
and whatever we face, I know that we'll get by

Einstein never explained it like this
But you're relative to me and my relatives
Like a star flashing across the sky
I look up to you and I wonder why you shine on me
Out of all the other fish in the sea

It's Physics for two, me and you
You're space warped my time and I'm cruisin'
at the speed of light where time stands still
This love ain't no theory, it's no illusion
We can try to work it out with geometry
and it's got a bit to do with our chemistry
but the way I'm feeling started with you
and it's physics, physics for two

Some nights I look up at the stars
A sense of wonder fills my heart when I think
"Hey, we're part of this place!"

And all the neat things there are to do
My reaction is multiplied by two
when I see the wonder on your face

Einstein never explained it like this
But you're relative to me and my relatives
Like a star flashing across the sky
I look up to you and I wonder why you shine on me
Out of all the other fish in the sea

(chorus)

Like an island in the sea
there's just you and me
Drifting through a crazy world
Will you be my girl?

I don't care about the worm holes
or the bending of space
You're my here and now
and we're two, in one place

So Right

Near 'bout three years ago you stepped my way
And that's just when my life began
to take a turn toward a better day
My very own personal promised land

There used to be some things that troubled me
Some things that pressed down on my mind
I'd race toward my possibilities
with my fear closing in behind

My dear you're so right
I raise my eyes and see your face
and you always make me smile
Yeah you're so right
A million stars could not compare
to the sparkle in your eyes

Now as we head off down this road of ours
Let's not be the anxious kind
We'll focus on what makes this love of ours
so precious leave the junk behind

We won't subscribe to what the others say
I've got to do right by me
We'll stay here doing just what's right for us
and right is just what we will will be

My dear you're so right
I raise my eyes and see your face
and you always make me smile
Yeah you're so right
Let's make the move right now
We'll be together all the while

Forty Winks

Forty winks don't seem like enough
to get a soul through all this stuff
We've been through some bad times
These ain't the first
Gotta read the good book in case things get worse

Don't you give up hope now, there's always a way
to find the light in the darkest day
Come on raise your head up now
Lift up your eyes
When you're in God's grace you can handle surprise

People do their wailing, they swing their fists
We'd be wise to rise above this
Peace be the journey, and as you crest that hill
Take forty winks 'cause time won't stand still

Now all of this emotion you just can't contain
All your sorrow pools on the ground like rain
But for the sweet love of Jesus
Don't fall in dispair
You shouldn't be on your knees
unless you're saying your prayers

People do their praying for the things they desire
And wonder why it doesn't ever transpire
People do their talking, and they think they're so deep
Take forty winks 'cause talk is cheap

People do their fighting and they don't fight fair
Instead of coming to you face to face
They crash through the air
People do their killing, and it's killing me
You know, we're lightyears from where we should be

Forty winks
Patience. Patience.

No More Waiting

I've been waiting on your call
I'm just sitting here alone
and there's no more room to fall
and there's no where else to go

I've been praying to my God
and God has given me the strength
and I have faith in you

I was missing out on love
that was staring in my face
There ain't no angels quite like you
in this mad corrupted place

You have waited for so long
for me to bring you what you need
Now there's no more waiting
No more waiting

No more waiting for the love you need
No more waiting for the way things used to be
No more waiting for the way you smile
There's no more waiting...
I would walk a thousand miles

I was looking for myself
but I was so hard to find
There were too many things that just
made me too damn blind

Now we all have our problems
We've all got our demons
but I shake them off now
Come clean
Yeah, I'll come clean

No more waiting for the love you need
No more waiting for the way things used to be
No more waiting for the way you smile
There's no more waiting...
I would walk a thousand miles

Sorry

I've made my bed now I can't sleep
I'm trying to think of the promises I'd like to keep
They say we're only human we slip and fall
Baby I fell so many times I broke my pride
tore my pants and all...

I've had my chances
now I'm miles from your heart
And I don't know what I will do
Perfect romances
that just fall apart
And I'm still, still hooked up on you

Though I was wrong I played it cool
and I got my heart handed to me
like a grade-A fool
Everytime I look into your eyes
I pray to God you can tell
I'm one of the good guys...

I've had my chances
now I'm miles from your heart
And I don't know what I will do
Perfect romances
that just fall apart
And I'm still, still hooked up on you

Every night when the sun goes down
I look at the stars alone
I think of all that I've done wrong
and I slip into the Twilight Zone!

Honey I knew I was wrong
the moment you took off
But I love you
if it's any consolation
I didn't mean to piss you off... sorry.

I've had my chances
now I'm miles from your heart
And I don't know what I will do
Perfect romances
that just fall apart
And I'm still, still hooked up on you

Far Away

"Well it's all a dream," she said
I guess that's all it is
There's a question in my mind
but I don't know where the answer is

"Take time day by day and you'll learn
that's all you have to do."

And still I get caught up in the future
Burdens deep within the past weighing down
I just don't know what to do with the pressure
Help me find my way back to lost and found
Can someone pick me up and take me

Far away from myself
I cause more harm than good
my mind is goind crazy
Far away from myself
Don't let me be misunderstood
Just save me.

She says "You've got to keep yourself real busy"
then sometimes she would say...
"Don't let your own mind make your own mind dizzy
you can self destruct that way.
Let it be a rule not to think too much.
Get caught up in your fears and you're through."

And still I lose control of my presence
It's like I'm not there when I'm there, at all
I get caught up in a world of pretending
Help me find my way back to lost and found
Can someone pick me up and take me

Far away from myself
I cause more harm than good
my mind is goind crazy
Far away from myself
Don't let me be misunderstood
Just save me.
