Don’t Wait Up Lyrics by Helge

Days of Young Petty Davis

2017

[Verse 1]
Just when you think you’re on a roll
You lose control
Just when you think it’s alright
You lose the light
A hard time had finally gone
A new love in life had come
Those were all sunny days
'Til the one some bad news came
He said to her, "I have to take a walk"

[Chorus]
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up
Wait up for me
I’m sorry but I have to drink away the day
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up
'Cause I will be everywhere, nowhere, somewhere
I just need to be away

[Verse 2]
A blissful future in mind
The perfect kind
Maybe a family someday
How much can one pray?
There is no meant to be
Sometimes it’s plain ugly
The day’s results came in
And it was just heartrending
He said to her, "I have to take a walk"

[Chorus]
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up
Wait up for me
I’m sorry but I have to drink away the day
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up
'Cause I will be everywhere, nowhere, somewhere
I just need to be away

[Chorus]
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up
Wait up for me
I’m sorry but I have to drink away the day
Don’t wait up
Don’t wait up
'Cause I will be everywhere, nowhere, somewhere
I just need to be away
