how soon is now?

there's a club, if you'd like to go.
you could meet somebody who really loves you.
so you go, and you stand on your own,
and you leave on your own,
and you go home
and you cry
and you want to die.

when you say it's gonna happen now,
well, when exactly do you mean?
see, i've already waited too long
and all my hope is gone.
