Hope You Can Wait

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 find ourselves in

I see your hair turning grey at the mention of the mountain

That we still have to climb

But I'm figuring it out a day by day

And one small step at a time

I'll never know unless I try

We'll never be the greatest 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

You've held your ground and stood firmly

Now it's time I did the same

But the ground's a little shaky

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 greatest 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

I hope that you can wait for me

No, no, no, no, no, no

I hope that you can wait for me

I'll take my time from these waves

I hope that you can wait for me

Please won't you wait for me?

No, 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 greatest 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
