Album: Goodbye, Goodnight (2009)

Wait For Me

Well I just strum the chords and sing the words
It's probably gonna get much worse
Before the sun decides to shine again
Well I turned 23 this past July
And all my dreams they seem to fly away
For reasons I don't understand

This is not the way
That I'd hoped to be
This is not the way

So if you'd wait for me
Come on, wait for me, I'll try
Maybe we'll find a simple answer tonight
If you just wait for me, I'll try

I live to take with no remorse
I would rather chart a course
To hell than tread too gently as I step
See my brother's eyes remember
That we're not the walking dead
We're broken but we're better off like this
We're broken but we're better off like this

I am not the way
That I'd hoped to be
I am not the way

So if you'd wait for me
Come on, wait for me, I'll try
Maybe we'll find a simple answer tonight
If you just wait for me, I'll try

And I will lose but never compromise
Always battered by the rolling tide
Keeping faith won't set my mind at ease
I would love to find some restful sleep

Cause I am not the way
That I'd hoped to be
I am not the way

So if you'd wait for me
Come on, wait for me, I'll try
Maybe we'll find a simple answer tonight
If you just wait for me, I'll try
If you just wait for me, I'll try
If you just wait for me, I'll try
