Wait Your Turn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’ve got a sentence ready, tapping on my sleeve You’ve got a thought still forming, something I want to hear The room can hold a heartbeat, nobody has to race I’ll leave a little daylight, you can take your space [Pre-Chorus] One voice, then another We pass the thread along [Chorus] Wait your turn, I’ll wait mine Leave a little room between the lines When you’re finished, I’ll begin That’s how every good conversation wins Wait your turn, take your time Your words matter, and so do mine [Verse 2] The kettle clicks behind us, a notebook fills with names We trade the floor in circles, no one gets pushed away A question finds an answer, an answer makes a start Listening is an action, not just being apart [Pre-Chorus] One voice, then another We pass the thread along [Chorus] Wait your turn, I’ll wait mine Leave a little room between the lines When you’re finished, I’ll begin That’s how every good conversation wins Wait your turn, take your time Your words matter, and so do mine [Bridge] No need to raise the ceiling No need to beat the clock A pause can make a doorway A pause can make us talk [Final Chorus] Wait your turn, I’ll wait mine Leave a little room between the lines When you’re finished, I’ll begin That’s how every good conversation wins Wait your turn, take your time Your words matter, and so do mine [Outro] Your words matter, and so do mine
