Don't Wait Up
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.
Do you remember how we lit up the room?
And how you felt before you met all my different moods?
I know I drive you mad when I hit you with the truth
Oh, ooh
Don’t let your mind think it’s someone else
Someone else
I need to do something for myself
Ooh
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Don’t be afraid if it gets late
Yeah, you’ll survive it’s just one night
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Why won’t you put down your phone and look me in the eye?
Got all dressed up for you, but you seem so occupied
Maybe space is all it takes this time
To fix us
Don’t let your mind think it’s someone else
Someone else
I need to do something for myself
Ooh
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Don’t be afraid if it gets late
Yeah, you’ll survive it’s just one night
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Ah, ah, ah, ah
First, I kissed you
Then I get mad at you
‘Cause I wish I'd
Be happy without you
If I ditch you
Then maybe you’ll understand
Then maybe you’ll understand
I need to do something for myself
Ooh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Don’t be afraid if it gets late
Yeah, you’ll survive it’s just one night
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up, up, up, up, up
Ah, ah, ah, ah
