It's been a year of trials and tribulations
I've been stretched out paper thin
And you held my hand through the mess and confusion
That we found ourselves in
I see a hair turning gray at the mention of a mountain
That we still have to climb
But I'm figuring it out day by day
And one small step at a time
I'll never know unless I try
We'll never be the paraders if I can't rectify
What good is pretending
When we know what waits outside?
But I hope you can wait
Hope you can wait
You were the ground and you stayed for me, yeah
Now it's time I do the same
But the ground's a little shaking
The rocks keep falling away
Just when I think that the storm is ending
The fires burn up ahead
And I'm back at the beginning
There's no room left inside of my head
I'll never know unless I try
We'll never be the paraders if I can't rectify
What good is pretending
When we know what waits outside?
But I hope you can wait
Hope you can wait
I hope that you can wait for me
No, no, no, no, no
I hope that you can wait for me
I'll take my time but please wait
I hope that you can wait for me
Please, won't you wait for me? (No, no, no, no, no)
(I hope that you can wait for me)
I hope that you will wait for me
I'll never know unless I try
We'll never be the paraders if I can't rectify
What good is pretending
When we know what waits outside?
But I hope you can wait
Hope you can wait while I take my time
