matt vinson, matte o'brien - waiting lyrics

[anne, spoken]
matthew? matthew cuthbert?

(sung)
is it you? is it really you?

you’re what i’ve been waiting for
for hours, sitting waiting for
i waited ’til i isn’t think that
i could wait one minute more

i hope that you know that
oh, i hope that you do
all of my life i have been waiting
i’ve been waiting for you

i’ve been waiting since half past ten
i’d love to ask you where you’ve been, but
that would be impolite
so take a note, i’m brought up right

and look, we’re standing hand in hand
now isn’t it grand what the universe planned
how could i know, how could i see?
you were waiting here for me
i never rode a train before today and let me say
before you ask me how it was — i know you’ll ask me that because
who would expect someone like me to arrive in avonlea
on a weekend train looking meek and plain?

but it was amazing gazing out the window
blazing through the countryside
and it was astounding bounding past the surrounding
and pounding ocean tide

the whole aesthetic was cooly poetic, and truly
prophetic in its scope
the pathetic orphan finally gets a chance
after years of unapologetic hope

oh i’ve been waiting since i don’t know
so convinced you wouldn’t show, but
here we are now, me and you, and
ain’t it funny how dreams come true?

who can say what lies in store, but
you’re much more than i bargained for
how could i know, how could i see?
you were waiting here for me

i never packed a bag before today and let me say
to my dismay it’s rather small, but it’s got everything and all
i’ve ever owned or worn, and see the handle’s torn up
in the corner a bit, but i’ve learned to manage it
anyway way you convey it may fray it on account of
decay it pulls away if you sway it right
but hold it tight and might just provide a place for you to hide
your past at last held fast inside
as you ride the train you ride
into a future vast and wide

oh i’ve been waiting my whole life long
so if i come on too strong, it’s
only ’cause i wanna show you
i could change your status quo

you should have seen the orphans cry
this morning when i said (spoken) buh bye!
(sung) i wasn’t gonna hang about
or let the door hit me on my way out

i’m finally where i’m meant to be (ah)
pinch me now
(spoken) look, ow! see?
(sung) it’s not a dream somehow
you were waiting here for me

(spoken)
oh, you don’t like to talk
(sung)
i can see that

(spoken)
well you don’t have to talk

(sung)
i can talk enough for two

anything you want i can be that
yes indeed, guaranteed, there is nothing i can’t do

ugh, but i’ll never be beautiful
won’t ever be beautiful
not even sort of beautiful
no, not me

i could be smart or strong
or stay silent the whole day long
(spoken) well that may be hard, i’ll admit
(sung) but i’ll do it, just ask it of me

i’ll be who you want me to be
whoever you want me to be

(spoken)
that’s it, isn’t it? green gables

(sung)
i can barely talk
(spoken) i mean i can, (sung) but only barely
and believe it or not
i’m rarely at a loss for words

home
all i ever wanted was home
all i ever dreamed of was home
a place to call my own

[anne & ensemble]
and now i’m standing here, home
not a million miles away, home
i can reach out, touch it now, home
i never though i’d come home

[anne}
but now you’re taking me home
now you’re taking me home

[anne (ensemble)]
oh i’ve been waiting year after year (waiting)
now the moments finally here and (waiting)
it’s better than my wildest dreams
the wait paid off, or so it seems

how could i know? (ah)
how could i see? (ah)
while i was hopelessly waiting my whole life away (ah)

green gables was waiting here (green gables)
for me (in avonlea)
