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 sceptical 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, 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.
