Wait

I’d like to help you if I thought that I could
I might give into it if you said you would
I’d learn my lesson and brave indiscretion if you would, if you would

I’d like to see you if you’re on your way out
I’ll stop it if it starts, but still, I know that it counts
When you call me a punk and you say I’m the one
And you said so, you said so

Wait
Wait
Wait
I’m still the same brat
Call me when you get back

I’m predisposed to fail as fast as I can
With a name that’s been faded with the falling of man
It’s a meaning but I mean it, or I said so, I said so

I’d like to think that I’m so sane and sincere
But I speak in harmonics that I know you can hear
When naivety and exclusivity break me
Then you say to me
You say

Wait
Wait
Wait
I’m still the same brat
Call me when you get back

And you tell me where it’s hurting you
All you left uncertain to account for shifts in guilt
As the balances outweigh the checks
You and I retrace our steps
See, I’m saying we’re different again

It’s trite but true
I’m onto you
I know ‘cause I’m the same way too
And love and loss means winning by default
So won’t you tell me now

Wait
Wait
Wait
I’m still the same brat
Call me when you get back
I’m still the same brat
Call me when you get back
I’m still the same brat
Call me when you get back
I’m still the same brat
Call me when you get back
