I DON'T WAIT UP

LYRICS

I Don't Wait Up

Verse 1Used to leave the hallway light on
phone beside me on the bed
every car out on the gravel
made me think you'd come instead
Used to read between your silences
make excuses when you'd go
now the room is dark by midnight
and I sleep just fine alone

Pre-ChorusYou can call me when you're lonely
you can say you've changed somehow
I would've run to hear it once
but I don't need to hear it now

ChorusI don't wait up
I don't watch that door
I don't lose a whole night
wanting you anymore
My phone stays face down
I don't jump when it lights up now
funny how your name got small
when I stopped waiting on your call
I don't wait up
not anymore

Verse 2Friday used to mean your headlights
pulling in at half past two
now it's boots out on the hardwood
and I'm dancing without you
There's a drink I never finish
there's a song I always choose
I thought leaving you would break me
turns out waiting was what bruised

Pre-ChorusYou can call me when you're lonely
tell me everything went wrong
I would've made your hurt my problem
now I let the phone ring on

ChorusI don't wait up
I don't watch that door
I don't lose a whole night
wanting you anymore
My phone stays face down
I don't jump when it lights up now
funny how your name got small
when I stopped waiting on your call
I don't wait up
not anymore

BridgeMaybe you'll finally mean it
maybe you'll finally try
funny how I wanted answers
till I learned I could say goodbye

Final ChorusI don't wait up
I don't watch that door
I don't lose a whole night
wanting you anymore
My phone stays face down
I don't jump when it lights up now
funny how your name got small
when I stopped waiting on your call
I don't wait up
No, I don't wait up
Not anymore.
