Lyrics
Wait
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every town has a diner
Where I'll meet you and your friends too
Things are just a bit nicer over some coffee
You can tell me all about your day
I dont know much about you
Not that I want to
Not that I want to
Sometimes I cant escape from my room so excuse me
I'll be just a little late
You will wait for me
You will wait for me
Every town has a corner
Where I'll see you and your friends too
Hanging out looking cool
Saying the same things over and over again
Sometimes we all feel stupid
We say the wrong things
You're not the only one
Sometimes we all get left behind
In a race of style
It's a dumb thing
You will wait for me
You will wait for me
You will wait for me
You will wait for me
