Songtexte Wait Wait Wait (Live) - The Format

The cards we play
Are the ways left to communicate
These roads are paved with plans we made
Your headboard's never felt so safe
We'll reach our greatest when friends
And I will kill the lights
And oh, oh, what a nice surprise

Don't, don't tell me when it's time
You know, don't, don't
I just wanna see it for myself
Don't breathe, don't make a sound
'Cause this song won't stop 'til the tape runs out
When melody has nothing to hold
I'll be the last sound that you hear as you eyes close

When these chords remain
We'll use them to exploit the friends
We since forgot, those friends we lost
Well, you won't know just who you are
'Cause I've since played your greatest
But I'm too scared to ask your name
For fear that I'm the one who's, like I'm the one who's changed

Don't, don't tell me when it's time
You know, don't, don't
I just wanna see it for myself
Don't breathe, don't make a sound
'Cause this song won't stop 'til the tape runs out
When melody has nothing to hold
I'll be the last sound that you hear as you eyes close

The thought of death, it scares me to death
And I don't know why, I don't know
It's just too much to not wake up

Don't, don't tell me when it's time
You know, don't, don't
I just wanna see it for myself
Don't breathe, don't make a sound
'Cause this song won't stop 'til the tape runs out
When melody has nothing to hold
I'll be the last sound that you hear as you eyes close
