I Can’t Wait

It was the last week of school
And I never play the fool
But the night's calling so soon, electric light
There was Iris Avalon with the waves against the stars
My attention set on you, what was I to lose?
And I was cryin’

I can’t wait
The party’s one day away
I won’t throw
This labor of love away
And the feeling it won’t come to pass
And you just can’t hardly wait
I won’t throw this labor of love away

Took a glance at your tattoos as you walked across the room
There was nothing left to do Friday night
I was supposed to pick a side with the moonlight in your eyes
The youth of a thousand summer nights
Focus, align
We were blitzed out of our minds
Seeing double half the time
Broken mirrors on the lawn
The raiders survived
And I was cryin’

I can’t wait
The party’s one day away
I won’t throw
This labor of love away
And the feeling it won’t come to pass
And you just can hardly wait
I won’t throw this labor of love away

Whatever is always on your mind
It may be a wicked froth of life
Trembling through your fingertips and bones
It helps us to think we are not alone

I can’t wait
The party’s one day away
I won’t throw
This labor of love away
And the feeling it won’t come to pass
And you just can’t hardly wait
I won’t throw this labor of love away
You really can’t love someone who’s loved
