Can't Wait

Take it as it comes

The orchestra is set up downstairs

There isn’t anyone watching down below

And you can see it all

From your perch in the projector room

See the film’s distortions as it slows

Every moment where you stood stunned

Where the officials raised their guns

You only get them once before they go

Can I move it back, are all these faces really gone

Should I even ask, these reels are spinning on and on

I’ve been feeling nothing, so wrap me up around your knees

I’ve been looking for some comfort in this world that’s escaping me

I’ve been riding these bannisters for weeks

I’ve been chasing you through the dirty sheets

I’ve been waiting for the lights to go out on me

There’s no need for actors

Or tickets at the start of the show

The marquee will remain unchanged as it glows

They’ll bring up the spot

And then bring down the snow

Every fear will take the stage, and then disrobe

And your teeth will find each other

And stay locked in a rigid row

The music starts so softly, but it grows

Can I move it back, are all these faces really gone

Should I even ask, these reels are spinning on and on

I’ve been feeling nothing, so wrap me up around your knees

I’ve been looking for some comfort in this world that’s escaping me

I’ve been riding these bannisters for weeks

I’ve been chasing you through the dirty sheets

I’ve been waiting for a quiet time to leave

I’ve been waiting for the lights to go out on me

I can’t wait

Take it as it comes

The orchestra is set up downstairs

There isn’t anyone watching down below

And you can see it all

From your perch in the projector room

See the film’s distortions as it slows
