Can’t Wait (Outtake from ‘Time Out off Mind’ Sessions, Version 1)

[Spoken Intro] If we do it in … how about B flat? [Verse 1] I can't wait, wait for you to change your mind I can't wait, waitin' just makin' me go blind Did you ever lay awake at night, your face turned to the wall Drowning in your thoughtlessness, and cut off from it all? I don't know, maybe for you it's not that late But as for me, don't know how much longer I can wait [Verse 2] It's got to end, everything about it just feels wrong I pretend, being close to her is where I don't belong Well, my back is to the sun because the light is too intense I can see what everybody in the world is up against I'll stay here, where I can feel the hand of fate And I don't know, how much longer I can wait [Verse 3] Skies are grey, life is short, and I think of her a lot I can't say if I want the pain to end or not Well, the blindness overtaking me is beating like a drum I don't know where it starts or where it's comin' from That's how it is, when I try to concentrate And I don't know, how much longer I can wait [Bridge] I've been drinkin' Drinkin' forbidden juices I've been livin' Livin' on lame excuses [Verse 4] My hands are cold, the end of time has just begun I'm gettin' old, anything can happen now to anyone I walk across the floor 'til I wear out my shoes Think you've lost it all, there's always more to lose Not so clear, she can keep my head on straight And I don't know, how much longer I can wait
