don’t wait up

You’re always waiting  

I’ll do it later  

When I’m older  

I’m sorry I’m too busy to chat  

I’m living right now because I know I won’t have time later  

You’ve always wanted the simple life  

And I’ve always wanted the climax and lows  

I’ve always appreciated the art of a story no matter how sad and tragic  

So I’m out these days hearing these stories – telling stories – becoming the person I love 

I’m sorry that you feel the need to wait  

But I decided a very long time ago I had no time to wait

 

let alone 

 

for you
