Wait
Mornings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Livin' in these continental
United States I fall
In with the sentimental
Lovers who want it all
They make all faces pretty
They take every stride tall
But I just want to get back to my city
In no time I'll have them all

But I can't wait
Ooh I can't wait
I can't wait anymore
I can't wait
Ooh I can't wait
I can't wait anymore

Movements that make me shiver
Knowin' that there's no cause
Wonderin' if I'll deliver
To someone who's had it all
Hopin' that there's a way
To get back if I should stray

Oh I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait anymore
Ooh I can't wait




Ooh I can't wait
I can't wait anymore
