Lyrics for The Wait

I haven't the time and I can't contain myself The lack of concern that's on my mind is a privilege Off in a fit of rage, either way, your day is yours not mine Co-misery is common place, doing so as you always do, oh This could all be gone in a moment Or will persisting break the fall? In the back of your head, do the sirens keep getting louder? Does the love feel unrest, fill the void that was left by a lover? Darling, is it the time or the place? Is forever worth the wait for me? ♪ What pleasure will you find If you entertain yourself? Seen punching the air Watch the freedom causing you to lose your sight This could all be yours in a moment Only if it's really what you like In the back of your head, do the sirens keep getting louder? Does the love feel unrest, fill the void that was left by a lover? Darling, is it the time or the place? Is forever worth the wait for me? ♪ Feel the break in the power lines Staying in, not going outside Spin the clock just to waste my time I'm the who I've been my entire life (This could all be gone in a moment) (This could all be gone in a moment) In the back of your head, do the sirens keep getting louder? Does the love feel unrest, fill the void that was left by a lover? Darling, is it the time or the place, from the risk that we take, is it the time? Burn the walls they made, do it all in your name Found we're one in the same, is forever worth the wait?
