The World Ain't Gonna Wait (feat. Sadler Vaden & Trevor Nealon)

by Daniel Young

/

lyrics

When it feels like the whole world is coming to an end
When you see the bloom on the trees that’ll soon be dead
All the roots pulled up over our heads, shaking from side to side
All the roads that we’ve built have all started to collide

Chorus:
The world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait
This world ain’t gonna wait for us
It’ll leave us all behind
This world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait for us
Wondering what we did with our lives

The light bulbs have all burned out
And have left us in the dark
We’re all locked up in our homes
Trying to figure out just where to start

It’s hard to know days from weeks
Or, dust from dawn
Emptying out the whiskey bottle
On the front lawn

Chorus:
The world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait
This world ain’t gonna wait for us
It’ll leave us all behind
This world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait for us
Wondering what we did with our lives

Bridge:
Talking to the neighbors, they only see
Talking to the neighbors, they only see
Talking to the neighbors, they only see what they ... what they want to believe

Trying to put one foot in front of the other
Maybe gain a little ground
The stereo is turned up loud
But we can’t communicate the sound

History repeats itself
It never goes away
Let's start hearing
What everybody has to say

Chorus:
The world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait
This world ain’t gonna wait for us
It’ll leave us behind
This world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait
The world ain’t gonna wait for us
Wondering what we did with our lives
