The One You Want Lyrics

All poison and thrills,
A handful of pills
Waiting around
Nails cut to the quick
Yeah, you broke what you fixed
You’re so underground

What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Said and done
But it’s too late to turn your age around
She’s not the one you want

One settles the score
(With) a trip to the floor
Look what we've found
Makes sense of the scene
Keep a routine?
Standing on sound

What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Said and done
But it’s too late to turn your age around
She’s not the one you want
Yeah, it’s too late to turn your age around
She’s not the one you want

How do you do it?
With your back against the wall
How do you ruin all these promises?
Promises and nothing else

What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Said and done
But it’s too late to turn your age around
She’s not the one you want
Yeah, it’s too late to turn your age around
She’s not the one you want

So tell me something that I didn’t know.

What you waiting for? What you waiting for? Said and done But it’s too late to turn your age around

I think that line about turning your age around is great because you sometimes want to go back and change things, but we can't. We have to move on, and get older to learn more about who we will be.
