WAIT! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have a nasty habit leaving before I get left
You’ll think my light’s on yellow when I’m keeping you on read
Stonewall my emotions even when I wanna
Cry tears as wide as the ocean but I don’t
One fight, too many 3 a.m.’s, I guess we’re broken up
You’re like, “This is just a conversation, baby, what the fuck?”
Now I’m screaming “Goodbye” out like it means “I love you”
Internal warfare, it’s what I always do
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m watching you
It’s hitting different now but I’m telling myself
[Chorus]
I’m better on my own, I’m better on my own
Wait! Don’t go
It’s all I’ve ever known, it’s all I’ve ever known
Wait! Don’t go
[Post-Chorus]
Can I take it back now?
Can we make it last? Oh
[Verse 2]
I’m co-dependent with my independence through and through
My September makes me stubborn but it’s fighting with my moon
When I said “Just leave then” I was only fishing
How stupid of me to think you wouldn’t listen
Now you’re packing up your t-shirts but I want ’em in the drawer
Can’t get myself to say “Stay” before you’re out the door
Been time under tension, it’s blurring my vision
And so once again my head and heart are at war
[Chorus]
I’m better on my own, I’m better on my own
Wait! Don’t go
It’s all I’ve ever known, it’s all I’ve ever known
Wait! Don’t go
I’m screaming on the phone, I’m screaming on the phone
Wait! (Just wait) Don’t go
You’re all I wanna know, you’re all I wanna know
Wait!
[Bridge]
If I drive you away, will it cut like a blade?
Will it carry the same
Weight?
At the end of the day, I’m a girl
I’m afraid, turn around, hit the brakes
Ooh, and now you got me
[Chorus]
Screaming on the phone, I’m screaming on the phone
(Can I take it back now? Can we make it last? Oh)
Wait! Don’t go
You’re all I wanna know, you’re all I wanna know
Wait! Don’t go
[Post-Chorus]
Can I take it back now?
Can we make it last? Oh
Can I take the past?
Feelings ain’t the facts
Just the patterns of my past so
Wait!
