You tell me you've started
Prayin' all the time and you keep me on your mind
When traffic is slow and the dead rain hits the window
I am sorry to say, it is takin' time just to get it right
It is easy to see, when my walls are up, I can know no luck

Won't you wait? Yeah
Baby, won't you wait? Yeah

You tell me you've started
Searchin' for a meaning in words that I've been speakin'
And barely getting through
There's still so much I wanna say to you
You showed me I could be poison-free
And I now believe in the beauty of a thorn
Sinkin' in as the blood is drawn

Won't you wait? Yeah
Baby, won't you wait? Yeah

I'm over the hillside like every day
How many times can I say?
I promise, tomorrow I'm turnin' the page
I see why you started to pray

Wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait
Baby, won't you wait? (Wait)
