Lyrics
[verse]
Guitar driven quiet, sitting on the edge tonight
Every single word I have is waiting for the light
Mid-tempo heartbeat holding back what I could say
Every single silence feels like standing in the way
I've been meaning to tell you something for a while
Every single time I try, I lose my nerve and smile
This the kind of waiting that eats away the days
Every single moment stuck inside a quiet haze
[chorus]
Wait, I'm not ready yet to say it out loud
Wait, give me a minute underneath this cloud
Wait, the words are coming, slower than I planned
Wait, just a little longer, hold my hand
[verse]
Post-grunge heartbeat steady like a clock about to strike
92 the tempo of a moment feeling right
Every single hesitation teaching me to trust
Every single fear I have is turning into dust
I'm not running from you, I'm just finding how to start
Every single sentence has to come straight from the heart
This ain't about forever staying quiet in the dark
Just about the courage it takes to make the mark
[chorus]
Wait, I'm not ready yet to say it out loud
Wait, give me a minute underneath this cloud
Wait, the words are coming, slower than I planned
Wait, just a little longer, hold my hand
[bridge]
Guitar driven silence breaking soft into a sound
Every single word I held is finally coming down
I don't need much time, I just needed to believe
Wait is over now, there's nothing left to leave
[chorus]
Wait, I'm not ready yet to say it out loud
Wait, give me a minute underneath this cloud
Wait, the words are coming, slower than I planned
Wait, just a little longer, hold my hand
