Don't You 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.
I gave it all away that night
It was taking a little time, oh
I gave it all I got
But now you better know that I know for sure
Yeah, I made my bed
Dealt with it when the lights went out
Now looking back for temporary nothings
But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
Still looking for nothing, oh
I gave it all I got to know now
I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
Looked around this place enough to know now
I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Now I don't want to bite the hand
That'll show me the other side, no
But I didn't want to build the land
That has fed you your whole life, no
Don't you find it funny?
Yeah, I made my bed
Dealt with it when the lights went out
Now looking back for temporary nothings
But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
Still looking for nothing
I gave it all I got to know now
I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
Looked around this place enough to know now
I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
I don't wanna, wanna, wanna wait
I don't wanna, wanna, wanna wait
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
