lyrics

Everyone, everyone I know
...has seen me shaking
Like a leaf out in, leaf out in the cold
...the seasons change, and I'm still waiting

Goddamn it just won't stop
The feeling that you're dragging this out just for fun
And I'll hand it to you, girl
With a heart so tempered, didn't know you could be so cruel

'Cause I've been pacing the halls
Bottled up like it's Three-Mile Island
And I've been reading some books I found, and
They say the world is ending, so

I know a place that could be ours all day
(Our bodies warmed by the rays)

Please babe
Don't make me wait
I won't hear you when you tell me, you don't think about it when you're alone
That's not me, I don't believe in living for later or someone else
So please babe
Don't make me wait

Send my love out to Capstone
The coffee house kids, the Rattler, the Bitch and the Gem
And the girl by the poolside
Who's so close to her window she pumps in that '59 Sound

You stand, like an accent on your
White sand, white sand
And I tried to reach you, but it's
All wrong and poor-planned, but

I know a place that could be ours all day
(Our bodies warmed by the rays)

Please babe
Don't make me wait
I won't hear you when you tell me, you don't think about it when you're alone
That's not me, I don't believe in living for later or someone else
So please babe
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait

Let's get face tattoos and drink
To one thousand years of regret
Turn the mirror to the ink
Darling please stop your laughter, let's compare our disasters

What did you get?
Salt shaker, salt shaker
So your skin it will taste so good

I got the same damn thing I've gotten every time
The name of the tattoo artist
It's polite to offer you know, but

Please babe
Don't make me wait
I won't hear you when you tell me, you don't think about it when you're alone
That's not me, I don't believe in living for later or someone else
So please babe
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Don't make me

Everyone, everyone I know
...has seen me shaking
