Tune-Yards - Wait for a Minute lyrics

rate me

Wait for a minute

Monday I wake up with disgust in my head

Could not forgive myself another moment spent in the bed

Monday the mirror always disappoints

I pinch my skin until I see the joints

Today I'm feeling like I live on the ledge

At any moment I just know I'm gonna fall off the edge

They say, "Hang on"

I promised them I will but I don't know for how long

Wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait

Why do I spend the sole of my day

Looking for any way to waste away?

The pain is in the empty time

Just twiddling my thumbs and hoping for the words to write

Today I couldn't stand to be all alone

And sick of hearing my voice on the telephone

A thousand roads to injury

Most of them so smooth it doesn't feel like they’re hurting me

Wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait

Oh, I'm still trying to leave the high violence behind

I wait for relief but the illness is my mind

Why should I worry? I'm already too late

Why should I wait?

Not knowing what the future will bring

Is always wrecking my day

I guess I'll drown my fear and seal my fate

A haze of cravings, easier to do it then it is to just sit here and wait

Easier to do it then it is to just sit here and wait

Wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait for a minute

I wait

Easier to do it then it is to just sit here and wait
