[Verse 1]
It’s hard to explain when you’re lost in a maze
And you’re sure that you know the way out
I always return with a hand that’s been burned
And a riddle that’s riddled with doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
Will I ever prove that I’m living to choose a life where I leave a sound?
Will I ever prove I’m living to choose a life where I leave a sound?
[Chorus]
Delayed gratification
You say you want me
You say you don’t want me
You say you want me
You say you don’t want me
I’m not naturally patient
I’m sick of waiting
Always waiting for free
It’s always weighing
Always weighing on me
[Verse 2]
It’s looking to shoot

Always weighing on me

It’s the wrong place
Wrong time
But it still feels right
[Chorus]
Delayed gratification
You say you want me
You say you don’t want me
You say you want me
You say you don’t want me
I’m not naturally patient
I’m sick of waiting
Always waiting for free
It’s always weighing
Always weighing on me
