What does this remind me of? It sounds like an 80s power ballad that I can't put my finger on

Trying to mess around with less structured, more psychedelic/weirder songs

Faded Submersible Sparklers

I know, I know, I know, 
I should let it go, it go, it go, it go

There’s the refrain, that’s the main shame
Turning back around again and again and again
Always on background, in display
I can’t shake the feeling, it’s here to stay

Waiting, waiting, waiting
For a change, a place to stay
A place to lay the blame
To restore some of the same

Stuck gum on urinal cakes 
Within four scribbled walls
“I like music that sounds like shit” 
The sticker read in these stalls

Scratched record spinning ‘round again and again
Same top 40 tired four-chord refrain
Verse-chorus-verse
Verse-chorus-verse
Verse-chorus-verse
And I’m stuck on this bridge
Yea, this broken bridge

Wide sky fantasize
About open highways
Steely-eyed but I realize
I’m stuck on this bridge
Yea, this broken bridge

Waiting, waiting, waiting
For a change, a place to stay
A place to lay the blame
To restore some of the same

There’s the refrain

Here to stay

Red neon lights hide lines 
Engraved on my face
Bathed in roses with weathered wilt
A sign of disgrace  
Through piss puddle alleys, knight of cups 
Searching for fountains and grails, don’t give up

Friends on background, episodes on replay
I can’t stand the monotony, it’s here to stay:
Predictable plotlines and tired routines
Stock characters in played-out scenes

Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting
