You Should Have Waited Lyrics

we didn't have those candy coated pills
and i lie about the way it feels
i only did it cause you did it
if you wanted it I'd get it
we'd tried anything just once
you tried everyone but me
i couldn't keep...i couldn't keep up.

you should have waited
you should have wanted me
you should have waited
it's haunting you still told me

would you feel my skin from underneath (you try anything just once)
i enter intravenously (i try i try)
my achilles heel unlike a chandelier
you taught me how to crawl

you should have waited
you should have wanted me
you should have waited
it's haunting you still told me
(home is only where i'm wanted
I'm betting on ?? thawing)

now when you see me
i know you're sorry
or at least you should be
you see straight through me

like I'm dead already

I think the first verse is "We didn't have those candy-coated pills" I don't know what John's saying after "home is only where I'm wanted" though.

yeah i wasn't too sure since adam sings some words with what i guess would be his southern-ish accent, but that part with john it's either betting or banging on and i have zero idea as to what he really says.

I thought it was 'we inhaled those candy-coated pills...'

I think it's "we'd inhale those candy-coated pills" It does kinda sound like "we didn't have..." but that doesn't really make sense with the rest of the song.
I also think the last line of the chorus should be "taunt" instead of "told"

Anyway, I think this song is about a love interest who is only using Adam to get drugs.

The line "I only did it 'cause you did it" suggests that Adam wouldn't have normally engaged in such activities, but did so to impress and/or get on better terms with this girl.

The chorus then reflects his discomfort and overall poinion of the situation with the girl

The first verse is this: "We'ed inhale those candy coated pills and I'd lie about the way it feels i only did it cause you did it if you wanted it I'd get it we'd try anything just once you try anyone but me i couldn't keep...i couldn't keep up." Yeah and you have the chorus and next few verses right but when you have the question marks John is saying "I'm betting on the top I'm falling" and I think you should continue it instead of ending it where you did.
