Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Get so caught up every day
Tryna keep it all together
While the time just slips away
See, I know nothin' lasts forever
[PreChorus]
Imagine there was no tomorrow
Imagine that I couldn't see your face
There'd be no limit to my sorrow
So all I can say
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you somethin', give you somethin'
Show you in so many ways
'Cause it would all mean nothin' if I don't say somethin'
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour, let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you somethin', show you somethin'
Won't wait till it's too late
[Chorus]
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I won't wait till it's too late
[Verse 2]
Just a simple conversation
Just a moment is all it takes, yeah
I wanna be there just to listen, I wanna be here
And I don't wanna hesitate, oh, no
[PreChorus]
Imagine there was no tomorrow
Imagine that I couldn't see your face
There'd be no limit to my sorrow
'Cause there is nothin' that could fill that space
I don't wanna put it off for too long
I didn't say all that I had to say
I wanna take the time to right the wrong
Before we get to that place
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you somethin', give you somethin'
Show you in so many ways
'Cause it would all mean nothin' if I don't say somethin'
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour, let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you somethin', show you somethin'
Won't wait till it's too late
[Bridge]
Just lean on my shoulder
It's not over till it's over
Don't worry 'bout it, 'cause I'm gonna
Make sure our bond gets stronger, yeah
I don't wanna wait until the
Storm, and something's wrong and now you're gone, and I can't find ya
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you somethin', give you somethin'
Show you in so many ways
'Cause it would all mean nothin' if I don't say somethin'
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour, let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you somethin', show you somethin'
Won't wait till it's too late
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you somethin', give you somethin'
Show you in so many ways
'Cause it would all mean nothin' if I don't say somethin'
Before it all goes away
Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers
Waste another hour, let alone another day
I'm gonna tell you somethin', show you somethin'
Won't wait till it's too late
[Outro]
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I won't wait till it's too late
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
No, won't wait, no, no
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
I won't wait till it's too late
I can't wait, I can't wait, I won't wait, I don't wanna wait
No, no, no, no
No, no
I can't wait, I won't wait
No, no
I can't wait, I won't wait
