lyrics

If you're gonna keep me waiting
Waiting on the edge of my seat
One of these days I'm bound to knock the table over
And if you're gonna keep me hanging
Hanging off every word you say, well
One of these days I'm gonna cut myself down

And walk away as fast as I can
Walk away as fast as I can
Cuz I know as sure as hell you understand it

And it's hard enough to say it
It gets you every time
I don't think I want to
If one of us is gonna be half right
And if one of us is gonna be half right
Then both of us are gonna be wrong
Maybe we could leave it alone

Summer in the open city
Everybody thinks they can drive
Pulled over at the stop sign
Tail light, left side
And if you're gonna keep me waiting
Sweating on your leather seat
I'm gonna cut you off cold
And jump into the Wissahickon

And swim away as fast as I can,
To the ocean as fast as I can
Cuz I know as sure as hell you'd understand it

And it's hard enough to say it
It gets you every time
I don't think I want to
If one of us is gonna be half right
And if one of us is gonna be half right
Then both of us are gonna be wrong
Maybe we should leave it alone

Maybe we should leave it alone
Maybe we should leave it alone
(I don't think I want to)
Maybe we should leave it alone
Maybe we should leave it alone
(I don't think I want to)
Maybe we should leave it alone
Maybe we should leave it alone
(I don't think I want to)
