I see you've walked back with something in your head
That you need off your chest, but I confess
That I wish I'd just stayed in bed

You say there's feelings that I never show
But I feel, deep inside, if you say one more word
Then my head will explode

Will you wait while I clear my head
Can it wait while I get myself together?
I promise you one thing instead
By the end of the summer
I'll be better, yet

It's just it's so late, the Sun is coming up
Yet it's word after word after word
Night is done and the morning's begun

I can't explain it, not that it would do
If it's not you, then it's me, who knows it can't be me
So, then it might be you

Will you wait while I clear my head
Can it wait while I get myself together?
I promise you one thing instead
By the end of the summer
I'll be better, yet

And there's no need to make this a whole big thing at all
I'll just see you in the fall

Well, you waited while I cleared my head
And you waited while I got myself together
I promised you one thing instead
But it's the end of the summer
And I'm not much better, yet

Will you wait while I clear my head
Can it wait while I get myself together?
I promise you one thing instead
By the end of the summer
I'll be better, yet
I'll be better, yet
I'll be better, yet
Too much better
I'll be better, yet
