[Verse 1]
Now that you're twenty-five, a decade passed you by
Since she whispered lullabies in your headphones
Do you remember her? She was the biggest star
You wept when she sang "Piano Man" on stage with Billy Joel

[Chorus]
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me

[Verse 2]
Just seven years ago when you were on a roll
Painting mental pictures of yourself at twenty-five
It's time to let that go, you played a damn good show
She's just the aching station in the corner of your heart

[Chorus]
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me

[Verse 3]
You made a few mistakes
Just tryin' to get your way
Now you wish you had the chance to lose and lose worse
You got a hand to land
My huckleberry friend
She's just the sinking line at the end of every verse
[Chorus]
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
I don't mean to keep you waiting on me
