Over The Rhine - The World Can Wait lyrics

rate me

if this should end tomorrow

all our best laid plans

and all our typical fears

am I running out of lifetimes

this is not the first time

something ends in just tears

but tomorrow I can't imagine

how am I supposed to know

what's yet to go down ?

is there only one religion

the kind that whispers

when nobody comes around ?

the world can wait

the world can wait

I wanna drink the water from your well

I wanna tell you things i'll never tell

the world can wait

the world can wait

i'm wide awake

and the world can wait

I want to feel and then some

I have five senses

I need thousands more at least

every day a page of paper

every night a photograph

a moveable feast

so fade to black and white now

roll the movie of my life

inside of my head

'cause like all true believers

I am truly skeptical

of all that I have said

the world can wait

the world can wait

I wanna drink the water from your well

I wanna tell you things i'll never tell

the world can wait

the world can wait

i'm wide awake

and the world can wait

haven't I said enough

haven't I said far too much

haven't we done enough

haven't we done far too much
