Breaking all the rules that you have taught me,
Reaching for the hand that you'll displace,
Aching for the fool who's always caught me,
Torn and searching for the answer on his face
Don't let it waste away, don't wait
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
After midnight on the shoreline highway,
A summer storm has soaked the redwood trees,
I never asked for you to see things my way,
I'm just waiting til your mind and heart agree
Don't let it waste away, don't wait
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
Don't let it waste away, don't wait
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
And I will take credit as the first who made you try
All the lonely pale futures faded, surrender to the cry
Of the gut that you left burning,
Wondering what kept you returning,
As we drove in silence, often smiling, underneath the golden wreath of California sky,
Don't let it waste away, don't wait
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
Don't let it waste away, don't wait
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
Don't let it waste away, don't wait
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
Don't let it waste away, don't wait
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
More than time will pass, the more you hesitate
