The Dear Hunter - Wait

Wait by The Dear Hunter Song lyrics | Music video

I lost my faith when I was young
I clenched my fist, and bite my tongue
I leave awake from all the things that I have done
Cause there wouldn't be a thing when I moved on

Then I said, WAIT
Are our bodies really piles of dirt?
And is the soul just a metaphor?
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
I fear that there's a Heaven above

[guitars break]

I stood in lines and bowed my head
I'd fold my hands and speak in tongues
To whisper worries to the dead
But I couldn't tell no apparition, heard a single word I said
But I'd still call my fear in to the air

Then I said, WAIT
Is my body really part of the Earth?
And is there blood running through my veins?
I'll know when I turn to dust
But I fear the answer isn't enough!

So, will I never know heaven or hell?
Or is eternity something worse?
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
I fear that there's a heaven above
(Heaven above, heaven above)

I want to give it all up
I want to give it all up
I want to give it all up,
but I just need it too much

WAIT, is my body really part of the Earth?
And is there blood running through my veins?
I'll know when I turn to dust
But I fear the answer isn't enough!
So, will I never know heaven or hell?
Or is eternity something worse?
I keep my eyes from looking too far up

A fear that there's a heaven above
A fear that there's a heaven above
A fear that there's a heaven above
I hope there's not a heaven above
