Wasted Youth

Someday I'ma find my way out
For the time, I'ma wait for you
I know what they all wanna say now
Chalk it up to my wasted youth
I'd be lying if I said I never wanted one
Just a lover that can love me, baby, one-of-one
If it's all that you want, then it's all or none
That's the game that we play, what you running for?

You
Tie me up your pain, oh, you

This my last hand, feel like I've been backed in
I don't know the odds, but I bet it all
Pack the Louie for the road, keep it moving in the cold
It ain't right, but I never fold
Hitting traffic on a bad road
You the one I go to bat for
You can feel it in the keys
I don't even need the beat when I'm singing out my last song
If you really wanna let it go
'Cause I don't know what I've been fighting for
You say my heart is in the wrong place
Fuck with you the long way, tell me what you wanna know
If there ever was a dark time
You'd be fading in the bright light
If you make it to the morning
I'll be in the doorway, waiting till the time right

Someday I'ma find my way out
For the time, I'ma wait for you
I know what they all wanna say now
Chalk it up to my wasted youth
I'd be lying if I said I never wanted one
Just a lover that can love me, baby, one-of-one
If it's all that you want, then it's all or none
That's the game that we play, what you running for?

You
Tie me up your pain, oh, you

No hands left, I don't plan shit
Know it's real when she talk to me in Spanish
Know the deal, you the one I gotta hang with
I could do the math, she doesn't even share the blanket
Oh, you playing undercover, what you waiting for?
See the way you wanna play it, I can play it long
If there's something that I owe you, I can pay in full
You ain't gotta say it 'cause the silence gonna say it all
It's clear, feel it in the air
On that young Jovi, I be livin' on a prayer
Nothing I could do, running out of room
You either say it now or you bring it to the tomb
If there's nothing wrong, why there's something in the way?
Save it for the winter if the summer gonna fade
Swear that I've been different, but you know that I'm the same
You ain't even gotta say it 'cause you know that I'ma wait

For you
Tie me up your pain, oh, you

Someday I'ma find my way out
For the time, I'ma wait for you
I know what they all wanna say now
Chalk it up to my wasted youth
I'd be lying if I said I never wanted one
Just a lover that can love me, baby, one-of-one
If it's all that you want, then it's all or none
That's the game that we play, what you running for?

You
Time me up your pain, oh, you
Time me up your pain, oh, you
