Don’t Wait Lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

The Best Ones of the Best Ones

2006

[Verse]
The sky glows
I see it shining when my eyes close
I hear your warnings but we both know
I'm gonna look at it again

[Chorus]
Don't wait, don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

[Verse]
Well you get one look
I'll show you something that the knife took
A bit too early for my own good
Now let's not speak of it again

[Chorus]
Don't wait, don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-ah-ohhh

[Bridge]
Don't wait, don't wait
The lights will flash and fade away
The days will pass you by
Don't wait

[Outro]
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
