About Do Not Wait

At the time of its release, “Do Not Wait” was the band’s favorite off their debut LP Nothing Happens. Lyrically, the song closes on the themes of the album, paying homage to the title: "Something you’ll want to forget (Nothing happens) Your parents will eventually separate (Nothing happens)." Dylan Minnette explained: I wanted it to be the song that’s like, no matter what happens in your life, no matter what feels like the biggest deal in the world at some point in your life .

Do Not Wait Lyrics

[00:20.63] You will say you're dreaming up a way
[00:26.00] You're dreaming up a way to explode
[00:29.86] There's a time you'll seek out a disguise
[00:34.75] When you think people hate you the most
[00:39.17] And it gets worse before it gets better
[00:44.92] That's one thing that I have come to know
[00:50.36] Just so you know
[00:57.07] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[01:01.32] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[01:06.78] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[01:10.55] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[01:35.60] All the things you don't wanna let go
[01:42.00] You wanna look back on in the cold
[01:46.22] All the times that feel like everything
[01:51.25] When nothing really happens at all
[01:55.43] They're still here
[01:58.69] All in that important room
[02:01.62] You've got your pictures up on the wall
[02:07.91] Up on the wall
[02:13.98] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[02:17.67] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[02:23.56] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[02:27.17] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[02:33.02] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[02:36.97] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[02:42.64] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[02:46.55] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[03:49.88] Make a promise to your ex
[03:52.84] (Nothing happens)
[03:55.37] He was terrified of sex
[03:57.33] (Nothing happens)
[03:59.73] Most times, humiliating
[04:02.33] (Nothing happens)
[04:04.17] Something you'll wanna forget
[04:06.73] (Nothing happens)
[04:08.77] Your parents will eventually separate
[04:11.49] (Nothing happens)
[04:13.81] Don't stop the trash bags in the pool
[04:16.35] (Nothing happens)
[04:18.42] Oh guess what? You have a sister now
[04:21.09] (Nothing happens)
[04:23.25] And as you go on and shit gets hard, don't worry about me
[04:28.18] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[04:31.97] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there (you're ready and you know it)
[04:37.25] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
[04:41.24] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[04:44.66] (Something you'll always remember)
[04:47.11] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait (your parents will end up where they belong)
[04:50.92] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[04:54.18] (Never hurt you to talk to them, though)
[04:57.29] Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait (And guess what? She's obsessed with you)
[05:00.53] I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
[05:03.48] (When shit gets hard, don't worry about me)
[05:06.08] Oh
[05:15.38] Oh
[05:24.97] Oh
[05:34.85] Oh
