lyrics

I don't wanna be waiting on you.
Waiting on me.
I know, I know, I know it's not hard to see.
Voices in my head in the sky, they're weighing on me.
Moving through the crowd, it was ours.
Hold on to me.
Grab me by the sleeve, turn off the TV.

He died over 1000 times, drank only half the bottle, just in time.
Only thought when the truck next his nose was "Oh... baby it's time to go".

I don't wanna be waiting on you.
C'mon we'll work through.
Your memory lingers on even though the pictures aren't true.
I've got no clue.

A girl in her summer dress, skin as vibrant as the rest. People lined the streets for a breeze of her rose-flavoured scent. Made her famous up and down the merry bend.
Faith thrown out with the rest.

Paragraph in hand.
Written for the damned.
Floating up into the stand.
I don't wanna see you cry. Well, goodbye baby it's time to die, time to fly high.

What does it mean for the man on the street, who only dances to his own heartbeat.
Everybody gathers 'round looking on, just to realise he's gone.

I don't wanna be waiting on you.
Waiting on you.

Alter-ego of producer and musician Lachlan Reynolds.

From ice and pollen crops I reign, through dark mumbling and sustained chords I explain.
Dreams and moments from my mind to yours, in underwhelming times this may just be to you, another chore. ... more
