The World Can Wait - Over the Rhine

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 want to drink the water from your well

I want to 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 want to drink the water from your well

I want to 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 I done enough

Haven’t I done far too much

Far too much

The world can wait
