Can't Wait (Version 1)

I can't wait
Wait for you to change your mind
I can't wait
Wait for you to walk the line

You ever feel just like your brain's been booted to the wall?
How the screws were tightened, and you're cut off from it all
I don't know
Maybe for you, it's not that late

But as for me
I don't know how much longer I can wait
It's got to end
Everythin' 'bout it just feels wrong

I pretend
Bein' close to her is where I don't belong
Well, my back is to the sun because the light is too intense
I can see what everybody in the world is up against
That's how it is
When things disintegrate
But I don't know how much longer I can wait

Skies are green
Life is short and I think of her a lot
I can't say
If I want the pain to even end or not

I've tried to stand on my own two feet
And I have to lean on everybody that I meet
I'm breathin' hard
I'm tryin' to concentrate
But I don't know how much longer I can wait

The trees are shackin'
I'm rollin' through the stormy weather
My heart is breakin'
But I'm holdin' all the parts of it together

My hands are cold
The end of time has just begun
I'm gettin' older
Anythin' can happen now to anyone

Well, I got one hill in front of me
And the other one behind
I'm strollin' to the lonely graveyard of my mind
I thought somehow, I would be spared this fate
But I don't know how much longer I can wait
