You'll have to wait [Verse 2] I ain't some hero, I know that much I've got scars I don't let show I get things wrong, I shut people out When I oughta just let 'em close But I wake up believing this world can be better And somebody's gotta try Maybe I can't save it, maybe that's foolish But I'd never forgive me if I didn't try [Pre-Chorus] And God knows I've been lonely Longer than I'd ever admit Then you came along and made lonely Something I don't wanna live with [Chorus] If you want me, you'll have to wait for me I got miles to go before I'm who I wanna be I could stay tonight, but I'd hate myself someday For becoming half a man just to make you stay So don't put your whole life on hold for me But if your heart still wants what your eyes can see Leave a little light where my heart can find its way If you want me... You'll have to wait [Bridge] Maybe the world don't need saving Maybe I'm just scared to stay Maybe chasing something bigger Is how I've learned to run away But if I ever make it home to you It won't be 'cause I lost the fight It'll be because I finally learned Saving the world ain't worth losing my life And maybe my life... Is you. [Final Chorus] So if you want me, will you wait for me? Not for some better man I'll never be For the lonely, ambitious, imperfect fool Who's finally learned what he's coming home to I won't ask you to put your whole life on hold I won't promise forever like forever's owed But if that little light is burning someday I'll turn that blue-eyed black dragon your way And I won't say, "Wait for me" I'll say, "Baby... I'm on my way." [Outro] Black cap on the seat beside me Your porch light up ahead Spent my whole life trying to save the world... Maybe you saved me instead. #WaitForMe #CountryMusic #CorneliusAurelius
