Don
Transit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in a parking lot
Hanging on a cigarette butt
Scrambling a little bit
Afraid of the sound
This always
Happens
When you take a chance
So stay still
And don’t don’t take on any risk at all
You always have to wait
For things to change
They always hold you back
And that’s not fair
You never get to play
The role you dreamed of for yourself
And now it’s
Time to give up
Everything’s the same
Staring down a decade now
And waiting for a sign
So ruthlessly nervous
And desperate for ground
Don’t Wait
This chance
Might not come again
So jump in
And don’t don’t let it slip away
You don’t have to wait
For things to change
You can take control
Of this whole mess
You can be whomever you desire
Now and know
That it’s never too late
Everything can the change
And if I’ve learned anything at all
It’s that we’re all lost, it’s that we’re always lost
If I've learned anything at all
It's that we're all lost, we're almost always lost
We are the lost
Don't Wait




Don't Wait
Don't Wait

Their choruses are so catchy on every single album.

Clark Kent

I don't know why everyone was all down on this album. Yes the vocals are a little shady in some spots, but listening all the way through it's the same Transit we all know and love. I love it.
