Patty Griffin - The Longer You Wait lyrics

Well I'm tired of this, baby Ain't you tired too We might as well admit We bit too much to chew ??? Before it's too late, baby They say the longer you wait The tighter shut is the gate We got nothing much in common But it's just as well Never intertwined We was just parallel We just didn't gel Let's dissipate baby The say the longer you wait The tighter shut is the gate Well now I just wanted peace and quiet I stayed out of trouble Every time I bit my tongue My heartache doubled Now this ain't as hard to figure Out as a jigsaw puzzle I can't find a reason now To keep this thing muzzled Well now my resolve's been waitin' For several years straight It's not that I won't miss you But I just can't wait to celebrate And I go wanderin', baby They say the longer you wait The tighter shut is the gate Tighter shut now
