if only i could wait feat danielle haim

Bon Iver

If only I could wait
If only I could wait

If only I could wait
But before me is a ways out
Can I live inside this state?
Where the summers are charades now
Can I incur the weight?
Am I really this afraid now?

Ah, ahh
For what s at stake
Oh, babe
I ll take the pain

If only you could wait
I ain t up at your pace yet
I take the steps to stage
And they hit me with the rays now
But if I could only pray
In the blaze of a northern bar
I d bend another straight
We ll decay in other ways now

If only you could wait (I, I know that it s hard)
Or is it folded either way now?
(To keep holding)
The common leads away (keep holding strong)
But is it only years away now?
(Keep holding on)
I have come to learn replace (I, I know that it s best)
And I resemble other traits of the lord
(to keep going)
I have rendered other fates (these memories hold)
And I ve been prowling on the brakes now
(these memories fade)

Ah, ahh
But what a taste
Oh, babe
In every way
Not for the freight
I ll best alone
In high ways
Mm-hmm-mm
