Annie S Always Waiting (for The New One To Leave) Lyrics - Last Of The Great Pretenders - Matt Nathanson

On the outskirts of the wreckage, 

Out in the sun under the golden gate, 

Annie said she was waiting 

For the next one to leave. 

She had a masters degree 

In disappointment, 

That's what she said to me, 

Laughed when she said it, 

Flat on our backs in the grass 

Out at chrissy field. 

My life's a movie. 

My whole life's a movie, 

If movie's made you wanna 

Jump off of a . 

She said 'I got one who moves me 

And one who sees through me. 

All I really want is a kiss.

But she's right on time for me. 

I got the right words 

From the wrong mouths. 

Hurricanes crashing hard 

Like I'm the deep south. 

Well, it always looked like 

Dry land out there to me. 

She said, my mother, 

She taught me how to doubt myself. 

Now, she lives in my head 

Like it's a tree house. 

I see her clearer in the mirror 

More and more each day.

I was only kidding when I said I like a fight. 

I was only kinda kidding when I said I like a fight. 

I was kinda kidding when I said I like a fight, 

But sometimes you gotta start 'em yourself.
