All the Time It Takes to Wait (Boston Version) Lyrics

You and your whiskey
Me and my heart undone
You say that you miss me
I wanna hear that from the sober one

I know that you get lonely
I get lonely too
But you've got this sadness
You've been holding on to

All the time it takes to wait
All the time

All the time it takes to wait
All the time

I get so tired of trying to save you
Your love wrapped in barbed wire
And buried in all you've been through

But you've got you and your whiskey
The captain and his first mate
You say that you're sorry
All of the time it takes to wait

All the time it takes to wait
All the time it takes to wait
All the time it takes to wait
All the time it takes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
