Cover art for Don't Wait lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

Yeah, there's probably no one still reading this thread, but here's my take.

It's about a guy and a girl who are intensely attracted to one another, but they know they'll soon have to go their separate ways. Should they get together, open up to each other, and have an amazing but brief relationship? And then suffer the heartbreak, longing to be together after they're apart?

The girl is afraid to open up, probably due to being hurt in past relationships. The guy offers to share with her how he's been hurt in the past, but he doesn't want to talk about it long because it still hurts too much.

It's a lonely world out there. When you feel that incredible but rare connection, don't wait.

Perfect opening song for a CD about a summer romance.
