Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You will say you're dreaming up a way

You're dreaming up a way to explode

There's a time you'll seek out a disguise

When you think people hate you the most

And it gets worse before it gets better

That's one thing that I have come to know

Just so you know

[Verse 2]

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

[Verse 3]

All the things you don't want to let go

You want to look back on and recall

All the times that feel like everything

When nothing really happens at all

They're still here

Oh, in that important room

We've got your pictures up on the wall

Up on the wall

[Verse 4]

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

[Verse 5]

Break a promise to your ex

(Nothing happens)

You are terrified of sex

(Nothing happens)

The first time is humiliating

(Nothing happens)

Something you'll want to forget

(Nothing happens)

Your parents will eventually separate

(Nothing happens)

Dad's stuff in trash bags and in the pool

(Nothing happens)

Oh, guess what? you have a sister now

(Nothing happens)

And as you go on and shit gets hard

Don't worry about me

[Verse 6]

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(You are ready)

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(Something you'll always remember)

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

(Your parents will end up where they belong)

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(They'll eventually talk again though)

Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait

(And guess what? She's obsessed with you)

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(When shit gets hard, don't worry about me)
