Wait Lyrics by Jay Warren

2018

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna hurt ya, but I won't mean it
I've just gotta warn ya, it always ends the same
I've got a history, and I'll repeat it
The moment you kissed me, we stepped into the flame

[Pre-Chorus]
Best of intentions, invested feelings
Don't bother with questions, the answers never change

[Chorus]
This love is a grenade, I threw the pin away
So, baby, won't you hold me while we close our eyes and–
Baby, won't ya
Close our eyes and–
Baby, won't, you hold me while we close our eyes and wait (Wait)
Baby, won't ya
Close our eyes and–
Baby, won't you hold me while we close our eyes and–

[Verse 2]
Love is a mystery, I've never seen it
I'm tired and guilty, the colors fade to gray

[Pre-Chorus]
Late for confessions, too late for healing
Don't bother with questions, the answers never change

[Chorus]
This love is a grenade, I threw the pin away
So, baby, won't you hold me while we close our eyes and–
Baby, won't ya
Close our eyes and–
Baby, won't you hold me while we close our eyes and wait (Wait)
Baby, won't ya
Close our eyes and–
Baby, won't you hold me while we close our eyes and–

[Bridge]
If you leave I would understand
You should try for a better man
Or at least for another plan, yeah
This is the way I am

[Chorus]
This love is a grenade, I threw the pin away
So, baby, won't you hold me while we close our eyes and wait (Wait)
Baby, won't ya–
Close our eyes and wait
Baby, won't you hold me while we close our eyes and wait (Wait)
