V1
Meet me at the gate
Darlin’ don’t be late
The top’s already rolled down
The bed’s already made
I’m still so impatient
Some things never change
You’re still takin your sweet time
It still drives me insane
CH1
I’m still wearin my faded old t-shirt
Driving an orange Beamer
One more goodbye, then I’ll be on my way
So darlin Don't Be Late
V2
You were never happy
And I was never home
Those two things were related
Which came first, I’ll never know
But none of that shit matters now
Cuz no ones keepin' score
And no one’s gonna judge you
When you walk through that door
I will be waiting for ya…
CH2
Wearing my faded old t-shirt
Driving an orange Beamer
One more goodbye, then I’ll be on my way
So darlin Don't Be Late
V3
I know that you’re worried
That you’re getting close
To giving up the good fight
And heading for the coast
So when you meet that moment
Just know that you’ll be safe
I'll catch you on the flip side
Of that white marshmallow haze
But you know that I hate to wait
I’m still...
CH3
Wearing my faded old t-shirt
Driving an orange Beamer
I’ll be smokin’ Elysian reefer
I’ve been waiting to long just to see ya
So I can kiss you goodbye, then I’ll be on my way
So darlin Don't Be Late
Aaron Lee Tasjan is one my favorite artists. I feel a kindred spirit to his songwriting, and lyrically he is right up there with all the greats. This cat makes me cry and laugh in the same song. Theo Katzman
