Don’t Wait Lyrics

[Hook] (x4)
Don't wait on me, you can't be up all night
My life is never boring, don't sleep until the morning

[Verse]
Up early, I stay up late
I make sure not to wake you
3 A.M. and the wolves arrive
Full moon, I start to howl
Hungry now, stomach growl
Nocturnal, sleeping owls (yes)
Used to love, go the extra mile
Now it's 5 A.M., still on the prowl
James Bond with the shadow face
Exchanging dreams in the sunset

Move the heart, play for keeps
30 virgins in the Bentley Jeeps (yes)
In the Bentley Jeeps, 30 virgins in the Bentley Jeeps (ay)
And the heart's not cheap; give it away, I wear it on my sleeve

[Hook] (x2)

[Interlude]

[Hook] (x4)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The 18th song on RiFF RAFF’s “BiRTH OF AN iCON” mixtape.

“Don’t Wait” paints a dreamlike soundscape with lines of surreal sweet-talk, much like his song “Only I Can Cure Your Broken Heart”.

The beat of “Don’t Wait” is a sample taken from a Crystal Castles song, “Magic Spells”.
