Hold Steady Wait A While Lyrics

I'm sure they'll come around and ask you to the movies.
That decision is yours to make.
Another boyfriend isn't going to make you happy.
I'm sorry, maybe you should take a break.

All last weekend you spent crying in the bathroom.
What happened?
This just shouldn't be so hard.

Once they hear you've got a broken heart
They're going to come around and try to make you smile.
Little girl you're going to rush right in.
Why don't you wait a while?

Once they hear they've got an open shot
They're going to come around and try to make you smile.
Why don't you wait a while?
Why don't you wait a while?

I'm sure they'll come up in the parking lots and at parties.
You know you don't have to accept.
Collecting boyfriends isn't such a healthy hobby. I'm sorry, but there's other words than yes.

Once they hear you've got a broken heart
They're going to come around and try to make you smile.
Little girl you're going to rush right in.
Why don't you wait a while?
Why don't you wait a while?

The truth yeah sure it hurts.
But the lies just make it worse.
The attention feels euphoric.
But the whispers will destroy it.
And a rep is such a tough thing to reverse.

Once they hear you've got a broken heart
They're going to come around and try to make you smile.
Little girl you're going to rush right in.
Why don't you wait a while?

Talking loud. Making eyes.
Like you're a little bit wild.
Why don't you wait a while?
Why don't you wait a while?

Why don't you wait a while?
