Over the Rhine - The World Can Wait lyrics

If this should end tomorrow All our best laid plans And all our typical fears Am I running out of lifetimes This is not the first time Something ends in just tears But tomorrow I can't imagine How am I supposed to know What's yet to go down Is there only one religion The kind that whispers When nobody comes around The world can wait The world can wait I want to drink the water from your well I want to tell you things I'll never tell The world can wait The world can wait I'm wide awake And the world can wait I want to feel and then some I have five senses I need thousands more at least Every day a page of paper Every night a photograph A moveable feast So fade to black and white now Roll the movie of my life Inside of my head 'Cause like all true believers I am truly skeptical Of all that I have said The world can wait The world can wait I want to drink the water from your well I want to tell you things I'll never tell The world can wait The world can wait I'm wide awake And the world can wait Haven't I said enough Haven't I said far too much Haven't I done enough Haven't I done far too much Far too much The world can wait
