waiting for conviction

yeah man i hafta say 

that despite tryna' make 

the best of each and every day 

I'm bored, man,
I'm bored

in so many different ways

I'm bored, man,
I'm bored

of everything everyone has to say 

except maybe you

but you went away 

a long time ago

and so... and so... and so... 

I guess 

I'll just continue to be bored

yeah I know

I know I can't afford 

to mess up again, so I won't 

I just wish that I could pray 

that I could pray 

that I could pray

I just wish that I could say

that I could say

that I could say

-those foreign Arabic words-

with that same familiar conviction

that same conviction

-warmth-

it came so easy

once upon a time....
