Wait For It by Jimmie Allen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Crazy thing when you're 17
With a head full of crazy dreams
You wish you had a time machine to catch 'em
Skip ahead to 22
Make your own money and your own rules
Yeah you'll do anything you want to do but life won't let ya
[Chorus]
You gotta wait for it, pray for it
Gonna bend, gonna break, gonna take a little faith everyday for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
You gotta hurt for it, work for it
When you go for the gold sometimes you gotta go through some dirt for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
[Verse 2]
Why you wanna wish your life away
You know you're gonna look back some day
And wish you were right here where you're standin'
You only get one shot so live and laugh and love a lot
And life will be a lot better than you planned it
[Chorus]
You gotta wait for it, pray for it
Gonna bend, gonna break, gonna take a little faith everyday for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
You gotta hurt for it, work for it
When you go for the gold sometimes you gotta go through some dirt for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
[Bridge]
First kiss, first set of wheels
Dream house up on a hill
With your girl sittin' there in your rockin' chairs
With silver in your hair
Yeah you gotta wait for it
[Chorus]
Yeah you know you gotta wait for it, pray for it
Gonna bend, gonna break, gonna take a little faith everyday for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
You gotta hurt for it, work for it
When you go for the gold sometimes you gotta go through some dirt for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
Crazy thing when you're 17
With a head full of crazy dreams
You wish you had a time machine to catch 'em
Skip ahead to 22
Make your own money and your own rules
Yeah you'll do anything you want to do but life won't let ya
[Chorus]
You gotta wait for it, pray for it
Gonna bend, gonna break, gonna take a little faith everyday for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
You gotta hurt for it, work for it
When you go for the gold sometimes you gotta go through some dirt for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
[Verse 2]
Why you wanna wish your life away
You know you're gonna look back some day
And wish you were right here where you're standin'
You only get one shot so live and laugh and love a lot
And life will be a lot better than you planned it
[Chorus]
You gotta wait for it, pray for it
Gonna bend, gonna break, gonna take a little faith everyday for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
You gotta hurt for it, work for it
When you go for the gold sometimes you gotta go through some dirt for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
[Bridge]
First kiss, first set of wheels
Dream house up on a hill
With your girl sittin' there in your rockin' chairs
With silver in your hair
Yeah you gotta wait for it
[Chorus]
Yeah you know you gotta wait for it, pray for it
Gonna bend, gonna break, gonna take a little faith everyday for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
You gotta hurt for it, work for it
When you go for the gold sometimes you gotta go through some dirt for it
Yeah you gotta wait for it
