[Verse 1]
Well it's a marvel to me
Oh, when my little blue eyes see
You standing there beside the window
Curling hair as if you don't know
What you look like on the first night
That I saw you under streetlights
Next to pine trees that had littered
All the right-turn-only lanes

[Verse 2]
And it's undeniably silly to watch my friends resort to killing
All their smiles and their willingness to wake, come tomorrow
Their pockets filled with voices, telling them to make the choice
To clinch the rolled-up coins in their fists

[Chorus]
Oh, wait a while
For it all to come so fast
Oh, wait a while
For it all to come at last

[Verse 3]
Still, while I'm engaged in ceremonial, dare I say emotional
Young women latching on to ever-changing drama songs
Filling places every year that earlier were so clear
Besides the blue and black chairs that to me are just so dear
For I've seen them since the second grade in theatre shows and big parades
Around the town of pine tree graves and wooded Woodland shady glades
I watch beside some asphalt dears
And skin my knees and snuck some beers
All around the boys [?] another year
[Chorus]
Oh, wait a while
For it all to come so fast
Oh, wait a while
For it all to come at last

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, wait a while
For it all to come so fast
Oh, wait a while
For it all to come at last
Oh, wait a while
For it all to come so fast
Wait a while
For it all to come at last

[Outro]
Wait a while
For it all to come so fast
Wait a while
For it all to come at last
Wait a while
For it all to come so fast
Wait a while
For it all to come at last
