The Waiting Game

Harry Styles

Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally., 2026, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

You can romanticise your shortcomings
Ignore your agency to stop
Write a ballad with the details
While skimming off the top
A personality
Considering you've been
A little over honest lately
And you apologize
A dirty clown
You found
Someone to put your arms around
Playing the waiting game
But it all adds up to nothing
You try
And you always justify
Playing the waiting game
When it all adds up to nothing
Playing the waiting game
Do you tantalize and titillate
Knowing it won't make the grade?
Do you leave it on the table
And you apologize
Emotionally dry
And years go by
You found
Someone to put your arms around
Playing the waiting game
But it all adds up to nothing
You try
Messing with your own design
Playing the waiting game?
When it all adds up to nothing
Playing the waiting game
But it all adds up to nothing
Playing the waiting game
When it all adds up to nothing
