[Intro]

One, two

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]

Why is it so hard to pick up the phone to tell someone you love them?

And you thought that they should know

No hidden agenda, there ain't nothing going wrong

You just keep thinking about them

And damn, it's been too long

[Chorus]

I don't wanna wait until the party's over

To tell you everything I should say sober

'Cause you don't know you left the good ole days

Until they're dust in the wind

Now suddenly the years are feeling shorter

Nobody wants to hear but we're getting older

So I'm not gonna wait another month or even an hour

To give you your flowers

[Verse 2]

Too many memories blur into one

Except the first time you told me

You were proud that I'm your son

It might've seemed so small in the grand scheme of things

But I remember every word you said

Like it was yesterday

[Chorus]

I don't wanna wait until the party's over

To tell you everything I should say sober

'Cause you don't know you left the good ole days

Until they're dust in the wind

Now suddenly the years are feeling shorter

Nobody wants to hear but we're getting older

So I'm not gonna wait another month or even an hour

[Bridge]

I'm reaching out

I'm tossing you a lifeline

I'm reaching out

I'm tossing you a lifeline

Respect earns respect

Don't you know that

Respect earns respect

[Chorus]

I don't wanna wait until the party's over

To tell you everything I should say sober

'Cause you don't know you left the good ole days

Until they're dust in the wind

Now suddenly the years are feeling shorter

Nobody wants to hear but we're getting older

So I'm not gonna wait another month or even an hour

To give you your flowers

To give you your flowers
