Let The Reigns Go Loose - The Get Up Kids

Can you take the bullet back?

Change it to a heart attack

My wish, I wonder, could it be true?

Sick fits form our former home

Misfits under mistletoe

One year spent waiting

Waiting for you

This isn’t what I wished for

This isn’t what I knew

What can waiting do?

Date: Fall 1989

Daydream of a valentine

I couldn’t wait to be added alone

Jump forward to twelve years time

Those dreams and a sad decline

I’d just thought leaving would leave it alone

This isn’t what I wished for

This isn’t what I knew

What can waiting do?

What did we prove?

Didn’t we make this all come true?

(I just keep hanging on for more)

Didn’t we choose?

(I keep on waiting at the door)

How did we lose?

Where did we let the reigns go loose?

(I just keep hanging on for more)

Didn’t we choose?

(I keep on waiting at the door)

How did we lose?

Didn’t we let the reigns go loose?

(I just keep hanging on for more)

What if we knew?

(I keep on waiting at the door)

How did we lose?

Didn’t we let the reigns go loose?

Can you take a bullet back…
