Waiting On Me Lyrics

I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write

On my fifth or sixth attempt to make the lyrics alright

Overthinking every sentence, every bar, every word

'Til I throw it all away, decide to write a new verse

Know some people prolly waiting on my music to drop

I've been writing for forever, I don't know when to stop

'Cause good enough is never good enough, when you've got time

You might as well just wait forever for immaculate lines

And the music ain't the only thing you'll wait on me for

Amount of time I keep you waiting, I should win an award

'Cause every time I have to make a choice on something that's small

I get anxiety and think of every way I could fall

My mind's FAQ section got a thousand "What if"s

What if she doesn't like me back? What if the Father exists?

Sometimes I stop catastrophizing and I know that I'm fine

But when the thoughts don't go away you'll have to wait for some time

Yeah

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, yeah, yeah

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, yeah, yeah

Yeah

Nothing in life is promised

Everything is evolving, everything is chaotic

And every time I think I understand how it goes

I see something unexpected, something new, and it shows

That if I ever want an understanding of life

I would have to do my research for the rest of my life

If I wanted just a glimpse of it, the smallest of looks

Every second I'm awake, I'm reading all of the books

It's impossible, but still, I'm spending all of my time

Just tryna understand it all before the day that I die

Guess I'm scared if I don't understand how everything works

That something I did not expect will stab my back when it's turned

So now you know the reason why you're waiting on me

I need to know 'bout all the obstacles I do and don't see

But while I'm studying the world, you're out there living your life

I didn't know that all this knowledge had the highest of price

Yeah

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, yeah, yeah

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, yeah, yeah

Give me time

Give me time

To decide

Wait on me, I need more time

Give me time

Give me time

To decide

Tell me, preacher, did you lie?

Give me time

Give me time

To decide

Don't you dare leave me behind

Give me time

Give me time

To decide

Wait on me, I need more time

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, yeah, yeah

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me, on me, on me, on me

You gon' need to stop time if you're waiting on me

On me
