Can U 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.
In this faded room, I sit
I need a home
But this isn't it
I need a heart as hard as stone
I need a friend
You could be the one
You say I'm weak
You tell me I'm vain
I want a thrill to ease the pain
Put on a record
Straight to my brain
But don't you ever put me down again
Oh baby baby
My time will come
Oh baby baby
Can you wait that long?
And as the storm clouds break
I run outside to dance in the rain
You know I've always loved the storm
It's only you that does me harm
Oh baby baby
I'm gonna prove you wrong
Oh baby baby
Can you wait that long?
(Faith, don't fail me now...)
In this faded room, I sit
I need a home
But this isn't it
I need a heart as hard as stone
I need a friend
You could be the one
You say I'm weak
You tell me I'm vain
I want to kill to ease the pain
Put on a record
Straight to my brain
But don't you ever put me down again
Oh baby baby
I'll prove you wrong
Oh baby baby
Can you wait that long?
