Lyrics

Tell Me You Started to Pray

You tell me, you've started
Praying all the time and you keep me on your mind
When traffic is slow and the dead rain hits the window
I am sorry to say, it is taking time just to get it right
It is easy to see, when my walls are up, I can know no luck

Won't you wait? Baby, won't you wait?
Yeah

You tell me, you've started
Searching for a meaning in words that I've been speaking
And barely getting through, there is still so much I wanna say to you
You showed me, I could be poison free
And I now believe in the beauty of a thorn
Sinking in as the blood is drawn

Won't you wait? Baby, won't you wait?

I'm over the hillside like every day
How many times can I say?
I promise tomorrow I'm turning the page
I see why you started to pray

Wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait
Baby, won't you wait? (Wait)
