The sky glows I see it shining when my eyes close I hear your warnings but we both know I'm gonna look at it again Don't wait, don't wait The road is now a sudden sea And suddenly, you're deep enough To let your armor down To let your armor down To let your armor down You get one look I'll show you something that the night took A bit to early for my own good Now let's not speak of it again Don't wait, don't wait The road is now a sudden sea And suddenly, you're deep enough To let your armor down To let your armor down To let your armor down Don't wait, don't wait The lights will flash and fade away The days will pass you by Don't wait To let your armor down To let your armor down To let your armor down To let your armor down To let your armor down
