From Nothing Happens2019

Lyrics

Do Not Wait

You will say you're dreaming up a way You're dreaming up a way to explode There's a time you'll seek out a disguise When you think people hate you the most And it gets worse before it gets better That's one thing that I have come to know Just so you know Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there All the things you don't wanna let go You wanna look back on in the cold All the times that feel like everything When nothing really happens at all They're still here

All in that important room You've got your pictures up on the wall Up on the wall Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there Make a promise to your ex (Nothing happens) He was terrified of sex (Nothing happens) Most times, humiliating

(Nothing happens) Something you'll wanna forget (Nothing happens) Your parents will eventually separate (Nothing happens) Don't stop the trash bags in the pool (Nothing happens) Oh guess what? You have a sister now

(Nothing happens) And as you go on and shit gets hard, don't worry about me Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there (you're ready and you know it) Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there (Something you'll always remember) Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait (your parents will end up where they belong)

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there (Never hurt you to talk to them, though) Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait (And guess what? She's obsessed with you) I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there (When shit gets hard, don't worry about me) Oh Oh Oh Oh
