Nobody knows how to begin

And the days go by

What a waste that would be

Somebody holds you to the end

But it slips on by

'Cause you're lost in a dream

Why wait, love?

Why wait, love?

It gets away, love

Why wait, love?

Hot to the touch

Call it a sin

On a night so cold

With the wind at your door

Somebody knows you like a friend

But you let it go

Just to ride out the storm

Why wait, love?

Why wait, love?

It gets away, love

Yeah it does

Why wait, love?

Why wait?

'Cause we don't see the silhouettes in the stars

We don't prophesize or see the signs

Howling from a true and bitter heart

Howling for a little bit of time

Why wait, love?

Why wait, love?

It gets away from us

Why wait, love?

Why wait, love?

Why wait, love?

Gets away from us

Yes it does

Why wait, love?
