Wait a While - The Hold Steady

I’m sure they’ll come around and ask you to the movies

That decision is yours to make

Another boyfriend isn’t going to make you happy

I’m sorry, maybe you should take a break

All last weekend you spent crying in the bathroom

What happened?

This just shouldn’t be so hard

Once they hear you’ve got a broken heart

They’re going to come around and try to make you smile

Little girl you’re going to rush right in

Why don’t you wait a while?

Once they hear they’ve got an open shot

They’re going to come around and try to make you smile

Why don’t you wait a while?

Why don’t you wait a while?

I’m sure they’ll come up in the parking lots and at parties

You know you don’t have to accept

Collecting boyfriends isn’t such a healthy hobby

I’m sorry, but there’s other words than yes

Once they hear you’ve got a broken heart

They’re going to come around and try to make you smile

Little girl you’re going to rush right in

Why don’t you wait a while?

Why don’t you wait a while?

The truth yeah sure it hurts

But the lies just make it worse

The attention feels euphoric

But the whispers will destroy it

And a rep is such a tough thing to reverse

Once they hear you’ve got a broken heart

They’re going to come around and try to make you smile

Little girl you’re going to rush right in

Why don’t you wait a while?

Talking loud.

Making eyes

Like you’re a little bit wild

Why don’t you wait a while?

Why don’t you wait a while?

Why don’t you wait a while?
