Why Do I Wait (When I Know You’ve Got a Lover) Lyrics by The Zolas

Swooner

2016

[Verse 1]
I can lose a day in a gothic maze
Why do I wait when I know you've got a lover?
Barcelona crush, half-capped in the sun
Why do I wait when I know you've got a lover?
The hands flail up in the clouds
I am their king with the chemical crown
Why do I wait, do I pace a figure-eight?
Ain't it easy to decide to go?
[Verse 2]
On stage, I soak it in and then I wring it out
Why do I wait when I know you've got a lover?
I'm floating over the crowd, I'm crashing on your couch
Why do I wait when I know you've got a lover?
[Interlude]
Two at a time, if you're gonna live your life
You know
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
[Refrain]
Wasn't it crazy, the flooded city?
Caught eyes on a bridge like a sick cliche
We saw the city float on and degrade
I wrote my name on your arm and it stayed
Wasn't it crazy, the flooded city?
Caught eyes on a bridge like a sick cliche
We saw the city float on and degrade
I wrote my name on your arm and it stayed
