Play by the rules 
And life can be so cruel 
Holdin’ on to what has never been again 
Some feelings fade 
As time slips away 
Haunted by the ghost of yesterday today 
Hidden hopes you can’t get over 
Feeling them again 
Maybe now you’ll come around 
You’ll let your defenses down 
If fates allow 
I’ll wait somehow 
So maybe now 
How long will you wait 
It’s bound to come too late 
Once it’s gone it won’t be back again ‘til then 
Now it’s up to you 
It’s time to make a move 
Wishful thinking doesn’t make it true for you 
Take a chance and see what happens 
There’s nothing left to lose 
Maybe now you’ll come around 
You’ll let your defenses down 
If fates allow 
I’ll wait somehow 
So maybe now 
Maybe now you’ll come around 
You’ll let your defenses down 
If fates allow 
I’ll wait somehow 
So maybe now 
I’ll wait somehow 
So maybe now
