waiting right here (rewrite 1)

I would like to make some friends

but that means I have to go outside

and that's too much work right now

I'm here patiently waiting

God knows how much I've tried

I want to know you, but I don't know how

I hang around trying

and there's no denying

I'm lonesome as I can be

where is that someone

I know that they'll come

and my sorrow will be set free

          will you talk to me

          will you lend me an ear

          if you are lonely

          I'm waiting right here

open and unlock your front door

look at the sidewalk and the street

maybe I'm coming your way

I look at the faces

on all the people I meet

but this loneliness won't go away

I'm looking for action

a little satisfaction

I don't need to run and hide

someday I'll see you

and wishes will come true

and then my fears will subside

          will you talk to me

          please don't disappear

          if you are lonely

          I'm waiting right here

someday will you notice me

that's what I tell myself

even though I doubt that it's true

and I won't be thinking

I'm someone else

or pretending I'm somebody new

but until that day

would you look my way

enough to help me see

there's a chance that you

know what to do

in regards to me

          will you talk to me

          there's nothing for you to fear

          if you are lonely

          I'm waiting right here
