Harmonix Lyrics
We could have been the best of friends
Now I'll never see this place again
So please don't wait
Don't wait for me to try and get it together
Please don't wait for me to be up here
'Cause I'm not here
'Cause I won't wait around for the grass to grow back now
I won't wait around for the grass to grow back now
Why think about it everyday
We knew to plainly walk away
And I won't wait around for the ice to thaw out now
I won't wait around for the heart to open, let me inside
And I won't ... oh oh
For your ... oh oh
And I won't wait around, oh oh
For you to figure it out
Now I'll never see this place again
Don't wait for me to try and get it together
Please don't wait for me to be up here
'Cause I'm not here
I won't wait around for the grass to grow back now
We knew to plainly walk away
I won't wait around for the heart to open, let me inside
For your ... oh oh
And I won't wait around, oh oh
For you to figure it out

i think it's "wait around" instead of "be around"
LOVE THIS SONG!!! i dont care about all the haters in this world! hah and uhh yes i agree i think its "wait around". (just throwing it out there! :D
I think it says:
And I won't fucking fold For your affections anymore
The references to ice not thawing and "could have been the best of friends" directly reference the last song. And it was going so well, too! Sad.
whoa! just realized this!
whoa! just realized this!
i thought it was "please don't wait for me to be like you/cause i'm not you", which i LOVE. but after hearing live versions of the song, i definitely think it is "up here". that lyric maybe refers to high standards of the other person.
also, the first 'chorus' goes: 'cause i won't wait around for the grass to grow back now i won't wait around for your _____ to open, let me inside now
i'm not sure what the blank is... it sounds like it ends with a "s" when you listen to the live versions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WempYPPsaWc). maybe "eyes"? that'd make sense...
"we knew to plainly walk away" should be "when you could plainly walk away", which definitely gives the song a different tone.
also, i agree with ruffianangelina about the ending lyrics. watch the live versions. that makes this song just that much better.
Great song to listen to before surfing! About being over a relationship. The first chorus says "I won't wait around for your hearts to open, let us inside". The second is "I won't wait around for you heart to open and let me inside."
