Lyrics

Don't You Wait

[Verse 1]

I gave it all away that night, it was taking a little time, oh

I gave it all I got but now you better know that I know for sure, oh

[Refrain]

You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out

Now looking back for temporary nothings

But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out

Still looking for nothing

[Pre-Chorus]

I gave it all I got to know now

I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer

Looked around this place enough to know now

I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you

[Chorus]

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

[Verse 2]

Now, I don't want to bite the hand that'll show me the other side, no

But I didn't want to build the land that has fed you your whole life, no

Don't you find it funny?

[Refrain]

You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out

Now looking back for temporary nothings

But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out

Still looking for nothing

[Pre-Chorus]

I gave it all I got to know now

I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer

Looked around this place enough to know now

I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you

[Chorus]

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

[Bridge]

I don't wanna, wanna, wanna wait

I don't wanna, wanna, wanna wait

[Chorus]

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me

Don't you wait for me
