if I wait here long enough

if I wait here long enough
the stoplight is bound to turn green
I will focus my sight 
on Saturday night
with my foot on the gasoline
I will dream of women and whiskey
and everything else in between
if I wait here long enough
the stoplight is bound to turn green

if I hope hard enough
something will someday come through
I've tried holding my breath 
but I failed the test
and I can't figure out what to do
my problem with looking for answers
is insisting on something that's true
if I hope hard enough
something will someday come through
