Think You Can Wait Lyrics
[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
I was driftin', cryin'
I was lookin' for an island
I was slippin' under
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another
[Chorus: Matt Berninger]
I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait?
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Berninger]
We've been runnin' a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holdin' a good night gone
We've been losin' our exits one by one
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sharon Van Etten]
I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait?
[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Berninger]
We've been runnin' a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holdin' a good night gone
We've been losin' our exits one by one
[Chorus: Both, Matt Berninger, Sharon Van Etten]
I'll try
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
