The World Can Wait Lyrics
Words and music: Bergquist and Detweiler
If this should end tomorrow All our best laid plans And all our typical fears Am I running out of lifetimes This is not the first time Something ends in just tears
But tomorrow I can't imagine How am I supposed to know What's yet to go down ? Is there only one religion The kind that whispers When nobody comes around ?
The world can wait The world can wait I wanna drink the water from your well I wanna tell you things I'll never tell The world can wait The world can wait I'm wide awake And the world can wait
I want to feel and then some I have five senses I need thousands more at least Every day a page of paper Every night a photograph A moveable feast
So fade to black and white now Roll the movie of my life Inside of my head 'cause like all true believers I am truly skeptical Of all that I have said
The world can wait The world can wait I wanna drink the water from your well I wanna tell you things I'll never tell The world can wait The world can wait I'm wide awake And the world can wait
Haven't I said enough Haven't I said far too much Haven't we done enough Haven't we done far too much
