Don't Wait Lyrics
There were ocean waves (ocean waves),
Big city lights (big city lights),
Lazy summer days,
Crazy sleepless nights.
Somewhere out on an open road,
You drove yourself out of your mind.
Sometimes to do the things you love,
You leave the ones you love behind.
You danced,
You drank,
You laughed,
You cried,
You went to work and said goodbye.
I lived,
I learned,
Stayed up all night,
I'll see you when the time is right again (again, again).
I've got old shoes in a brand new town.
I wear em' like they're starin', let the tongues hang out.
I'm just too loose for the same old crowd,
If I could only see your face before my souls wear down.
Somewhere out on an open road,
You search until you look inside.
Sometimes you've got to see the world
To find out what you left behind.
You danced,
You drank,
You laughed,
You cried,
You went to work and said goodbye.
I lived,
I learned,
Stayed up all night,
I'll see you when the time is right again.
Wait for me (don't wait).
Don't wait for me.
Wait for me (don't wait).
Don't wait for me.
You can't wait for the sun to rise,
You'll never know until you try.
We make mistakes and learn in time,
We all grow old, we live, we die.
We woke before the sun could rise,
We packed our bags and waved goodbye.
We drove into a great sunset
And lived a life with no regret.
We lived a life with no regret.
(Don't wait, don't wait, oh,
don't wait, don't wait)
I can't wait for the sun to rise,
I'll never know until I try.
We make mistakes and learn through time,
We all grow old, we live, we die,
We all grow old, we live, we die,
We live..

Nick's version:
