"Don't Wait Up For Me" is about not feeling that you're good enough. In Highschool there was this girl I had a crush on and I never acted on my feelings because I thought that I would just bring problems and akwardness into her life. And yes....this probably would have happened but I least I wouldn't have regretted not telling her how i felt my whole life. In a way, this song was my kind of way of telling her how I really felt about her back then. If you listen closely, I sing her name at the end of each chorus.....Stephanie.
Lyrics
I'm tired of feeling so sad
I need you fast
I've been hurting all day
And your gonna make me feel better
But it won't last
I'm stuck in this messed up game we're playing
Don't wait up for me
Cause things just aren't the same
Several sparkling dreams
Of Stephanie
I think this type of life is not so bad
You pick me off the ground when I'm feeling down
You know you have to part with the things you had
Just throw me in the back with the lost and found
Don't wait up for me
Cause things just aren't the same
Several sparkling dreams
Of Stephanie
Some damn morning I'll find a way
Things do work out but not today
