“Don’t Wait Up” is the second single from Robert DeLong’s second album, In The Cards. The music video for the track was released on June 16, 2015, with the album arriving the following September.
DeLong detailed how the song came to be in an interview with The Diamondback:
I wrote all the instrume...
[Verse 1]
Waiting on the phone to ring and wake us up again
Lost inside a dream with halls that never seem to end
Falling from the ceiling, I keep crawling on the floor
Can't avoid the feeling this has happened all before
[Pre-Chorus]
I stumble out of my home
I'm looking out every now and then
If I'm leaving my home
I don't know when I'll be back again
[Chorus]
So don’t you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind
[Verse 2]
Waiting for the phone to ring and shake me up again
Pull me out from underneath the state that I've been in
Searching for a reason, I've been looking for the door
Nothings gonna keep me here just waiting anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I stumble out of my home
I'm looking out every now and then
If I'm leaving my home
I don't know when I'll be back again
[Chorus]
So don’t you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind
[Bridge]
I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind
Don't you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
[Chorus]
So don't you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Don't you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind
[Outro]
I've got a restless mind

On ‘Don’t Wait Up’, those are my real drums layered with some white noise snares. They were recorded at Tim Pagnotta’s studio. He’s done a lot of alternative pop rocks stuff. We were using a cool old kit that is pretty similar to my dad’s old ’60s Ludwig kit that I still have. It was tuned way down...
