Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Cardamom and jade as your eyes streamed

On the night you showed your volcanic side

And I'm afraid to need validation

Waiting for the day when you finally try

[Verse 2]

There are sandflies in the champagne

You're closed off, I'm so drained

But I sparkle in the rare case that you tell me I'm your sun ray

I'm starved of your affection

You're crushed under the pressure

But you won't change

No, you won't change

[Chorus]

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

I don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go

[Verse 3]

Tethered to the person you could be

Rereading our texts from the strawberry days

Just give me a sign if you want me

Just give me a sign if you wanna stay

[Verse 4]

There's blue glass in the soft rain

You're passive, I'm in pain

But I sparkle in the rare case that you tell me I'm your sun ray

I'm starved of your affection

You're crushed under the pressure

But you won't change

No, you won't change

[Chorus]

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

I don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go

[Bridge]

And I usually know my strength

But here I am at 90 degrees bent

A metallic taste at the back of my throat

Watch your deltoid flex as you cough on the phone

And I've lost my grit and I'm in my head

You're so withdrawn and I'm standing there

Keeping wool over my eyes

Keeping wool over my eyes

[Chorus]

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

I don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go

[Chorus]

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go

I don't wanna wait for ya

Don't wanna wait for ya

I don't wanna wait for ya, but I need you, so I won't go
