"Delayed Gratification" lyrics

"Delayed Gratification"

It's hard to explain when you're lost in a maze
And you're sure that you know the way out
I always return with a hand that's been burned
And a riddle that's riddled with doubt

Will I ever prove that I'm living to choose a life where I leave a sound
Will I ever prove I'm living to choose a life where I leave a sound

Delayed gratification
You say you want me
You say you don't want me
You say you want me
You say you don't want me
I'm not naturally patient
I'm sick of waiting
Always waiting for free
It's always weighing
Always weighing on me

It's looking to shoot
But your veins have come loose
When you're craving to fix your ache
It's hustling a game
No one else came to play
So you spent your life playing with doubt

Will I ever prove that I'm living to choose a life where I leave a sound
Will I ever prove I'm living to choose a life where I leave a sound

Delayed gratification
You say you want me
You say you don't want me
You say you want me
You say you don't want me
I'm not naturally patient
I'm sick of waiting
Always waiting for free
It's always weighing
Always weighing on me

It's the wrong place
Wrong time
But it still feels right
It's the wrong place
Wrong time
But it still feels right
It's the wrong place
Wrong time
But it still feels right
It's the wrong place
Wrong time
But it still feels right

Delayed gratification
You say you want me
You say you don't want me
You say you want me
You say you don't want me
I'm not naturally patient
I'm sick of waiting
Always waiting for free
It's always weighing
Always weighing on me
