Unable To/ Can't Wait For It
[Burr]Theodosia wrote me a letter every day
The bed's been empty sence she's passed away
She's on the other side, and I want to die
I'm trying to keep my thoughts aligned.
I've need to keep my love,
Theodosia, she was mine
Love doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And I keep loving anyway
I laugh and I cry
And I break
And I've made my mistakes
And if there's a reason she left my side
And now's died,
I'm unable to wait for it,
I can't wait for it.
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher
But there are things that the
Homilies and hymns won't teach ya
My mother was a genius
My father commanded respect
When they died they left no instructions
Just burdens for me to collect
Death doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And I keep living anyway
I don't rise, I fall
And I break
And I make my mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I’m unable to wait for it.
I can't wait for it.

There's nothing in life I can control

Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[Burr]
I'm worthless,
I'm breakable.
[Ensemble]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[Burr]
I keep falling behind and running late
[Ensemble]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[Burr]
I'm just standing still, not lying in wait
[Ensemble]
Wait
Wait
Wait
[Burr]
I'm facing a useless uphill climb
[Ensemble]
Climb
Climb
Climb
[Burr]
I have nothing to prove,
And nothing left to lose (because I've lost it all)
[Ensemble]
Lose
Lose
Lose
Lose
[Burr]
Everyone's pace is restless,
I'm just wasting time
[Ensemble]
Time
Time
Time
[Burr]
What's it like in everyone's shoes?
Nobody seems to hesitate
They exhibit no restraint
Everybody takes and they take and they take
And they just sort it out anyway
They change the game
Everyone plays and they raise the stakes
And if there’s a reason
They seems to thrive and everyone just survives, but
God damnit!
[Burr // Conpany]
There's no use waiting for it // There's a reason to wait for it
// Wait for it!
// Wait for it!
There's no reason to wait for it!
Life doesn't discriminate // Life doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints // Between the sinnners and saints
It takes and it takes and it takes // And it'll take, and take, and take
And I keep living anyway // But you're able to live anyway
We rise and we fall and we break // You're gonna rise, and fall, and break
And I just make mistakes // And yeah, you make mistakes
And there's not reason I'm still alive // There's a reason you're still alive
And so many have died // Even if so many have died
There's not a reason to // There's a reason to
