Why I Wait

[Verse 1]
I had a dream, you had a vision
We took a picture of the night
My suspicion is real and if I can't guarantee
Just how I might feel tomorrow
When you call me those names
I think you're trapped inside your body
Your expression stays the same
Can you both stay with me?
Can you wait or will you take it from me?
Would you wait or would you take it from me?
Take it from me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know, even when you work for it
I know, I know I'm gonna make you wait for this
I know, I know, I've just been practicing
I really don't know what I want
Lately, lately, lately
I really don't know what I want
Lately, lately, lately

[Chorus]
So if that's what you want me to be
Will you stay at night and comfort me?
I feel it when I close my eyes
This is why I wait

[Verse 2]
Can I call you big daddy?
Can I hit you when I'm through?
It's kind of complicated
But you're over, boy, you're faded
I can say it 'cause it's true
I'll say it 'cause it's true
But that doesn't mean we're through

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know even when you work for it
I know, I know I'm gonna make you wait for this
I know, I know, I've just been practicing
I really don't know what I want
Lately, lately, lately
I really don't know what I want
Lately, lately, lately

[Bridge]
Do you call this the end?
Or is it really over?
Go at my own pace
I work hard

[Chorus]
So if that's what you want me to be
Will you stay at night and comfort me?
I feel it when I close my eyes
This is why I wait
So if that's what you want me to be
Let's take away that part of me
I feel it when I close my eyes
This is why I wait
And this is what I feel
Your sister or your slave
That never was the deal

[Outro]
I really don't know what I want
Lately, lately, lately
I really don't know what I want
Lately, lately, lately
I really don't know what I want
Lately, lately, lately
Lately, lately, lately
