Lyrics:

The opening track and lead single from Dashboard Confessional’s 2006 album, Dusk And Summer, “Don’t Wait” is about the initial hesitations of entering into a relationship and opening up to a significant other.
The sky glows
I see it shining when my eyes close
I hear your warnings but we both know
I'm gonna look at it again

Don't wait, don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

Well you get one look
I'll show you something that the knife took
A bit too early for my own good
Now let's not speak of it again

Don't wait, don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-ah-ohhh

Don't wait, don't wait
The lights will flash and fade away
The days will pass you by
Don't wait

To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
