lyrics

Don't wait up for her
Don't wait up for her

Your hero changed professions
Acquired a new stare
The gold nostalgia of your dreams
You tried to keep her there

Don't wait up for her
Don't wait up for her

Encourage another
To pull up fallen slack
Withering is sure to occur
Under streams of oral attack

Take it like a punch
Feel it in the throat
Now accept she fell out of touch
On the way home

Don't wait up for her
Don't wait up for her
