Think You Can Wait?

I was drifting, crying

I was looking for an island

I was slipping under

I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

I'm out of my mind; think you can wait?

I'm way off the line; think you can wait?

We've been running a sleepless run

Been away from the baby way too long

We've been holding a good night gone

We've been losing our exits one by one

I'm out of my mind; think you can wait?

I'm way off the line; think you can wait?

Did I? (all I have is all)

Think you can wait?

Did I? (all I have is all)

Think you can wait?

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

We've been running a sleepless run

Been away from the baby way too long

We've been holding a good night gone

We've been losing our exits one by one

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)
