Lyrics

I’ve Gotta Wait
I want it all I want it all today I want tomorrow today
I want it I want it all I want it all today
I want my name in the lights I want a future state
it’s not a debate I want a future state
I want my name in the lights yeah I want you waving your lighters
I want you singing the right words I want a future state
I’ve got to wait I have to do what it takes I’ve got to wait I am not ready today
I’ve got to wait and it’s something I can’t overstate I’ve got to wait I will keep chipping away
I’ve gotta wait until somebody opens a gate Yeah I’ve gotta I’ve gotta wait
and I know that it won’t be tonight and I know that it won’t be tomorrow,
and it won’t be the end of the week and it won’t be the way that i want it to be
well I feel it coming it won’t be forever for me but at present it’s still an indefinite definitely
that I’ve gotta I’ve gotta wait
I want it all I want it all I want the riches I want the fame
I want my name in the lights yeah I want you waving your lighters
I want to be so admired I want everything on my rider
I want to be recognized I want you singing the right words
I want tomorrow today I want that future state
I want it all I want it all I want the riches I want the fame
I want to win this I want the blue ribbon I’m ready to make it
I want to be so admired I want everything on my rider top of the page
I want that future state
I want it all I want it all I want the riches I want the cake
I want my name in the lights I want you waving your lighters
I want to be so admired I want a future state
the excuses I say
there's too much on my plate
I'm too old for this game
keep looking around for someone to blame
I’m the only one here in my way
I needed the ember maybe harder was better with some kind of pressure
do all work in between not forgetting the only way there is keep riding the waves
all the way to the place when when you get to that future state
every moment to moment today ’til the day you don’t wake
