  • I gave it all away that night, it was taking a little time, oh
    I gave it all I got but now you better know that I know for sure, oh

    You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out
    Now looking back for temporary nothings
    But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
    Still looking for nothing

    I gave it all I got to know now
    I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
    Looked around this place enough to know now
    I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you

    Don't you wait for me

    Now, I don't want to bite the hand that'll show me the other side, no
    But I didn't want to build the land that has fed you your whole life, no
    Don't you find it funny?

    You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out
    Now looking back for temporary nothings
    But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
    Still looking for nothing

    I gave it all I got to know now
    I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
    Looked around this place enough to know now
    I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you

    Don't you wait for me

    I don't wanna, wanna, wanna wait
    Don't you wait for me Writer/s: Adam Bainbridge, Dave Longstreth, Kwesi Sey, Olugbenga Adelekan, Sampha Sisay, Solange Knowles, Troy Johnson
