Rise Against
"Wait for Me"

Do you see the world in different colors?
Do you see the world in black and gray?
Alone in your thoughts
How many others have stood where you stand
Where you stand today?
I've stood where you stand
But oh, can you...

Wait for me now
To take off this crown
To break all these vows
Don't you know?
Wait for me now
The air's running out
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me now

A promise of safe return I delivered
But the oceans were
Wider than I first guessed
When roads disappeared
I followed the rivers
But somehow got in over my head
So a deep breath I'm taking

Wait for me now
To take off this crown
To break all these vows
Don't you know?
Wait for me now
The air's running out
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me now

A lost dream of what could have been
A house on fire a tangled web
The key turns
To find the locks have changed
In time to hear the back door slam
A sound that to this day I can't forget
The colors drain to black and gray
Oh...

Wait for me now
To take off this crown
To break all these vows
Don't you know?
Wait for me now
The air's running out
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me now
