The Longer You Wait Lyrics - Patty Griffin

Well I'm tired of this, baby 

Ain't you tired too 

We might as well admit 

We bit too much to chew 

??? 

Before it's too late, baby 

They say the longer you wait 

The tighter shut is the gate

NEW SONG: Thomas Rhett 'Remember You Young' - LYRICS 

We got nothing much in common 

But it's just as well 

Never intertwined 

We was just parallel 

We just didn't gel 

Let's dissipate baby 

The say the longer you wait 

The tighter shut is the gate 

Well now I just wanted peace and quiet 

I stayed out of trouble 

Every time I bit my tongue 

My heartache doubled 

Now this ain't as hard to figure 

Out as a jigsaw puzzle 

I can't find a reason now 

To keep this thing muzzled 

Well now my resolve's been waitin' 

For several years straight 

It's not that I won't miss you 

But I just can't wait to celebrate 

And I go wanderin', baby 

They say the longer you wait 

The tighter shut is the gate 

Tighter shut now
