Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wait time is the worst
I can hardly sit
No one has the time
Someone is always late
[Verse 2]
I look for you and you look for me, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
I don't know why I came down
I hold your phone, don't wake up
I hear a voice in the ground
[Verse 4]
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling me
Something that you are not likely to tell me
[Verse 5]
Tell me, don't tell me
The hard part is telling me
Something that you are not likely to tell me
[Verse 6]
Wait time is to blame
Mapped out, fame's a trip
We all have the time
Someone is always fed
[Verse 7]
I look for you and you look away, oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
[Verse 8]
I don't know why I came down
I hold your phone, don't wake up
I hear a voice in the ground
[Verse 9]
Wakin' up is so much fun to do
(Tell me, don't tell me, the hard part is telling you)
(Something that you would not like me to tell you)
An 80s movies make-out party with you
(Tell me, don't tell me, the hard part is telling you)
(Something that you would not like me to tell you)
