Timing.

Heartbroken lover all alone
Crying for the bruises and the reason she has them
"I'll change my ways," he says, then does it again
Finally she's leaving him
But he takes the kids so that she'll never find them
Moving across the country just to make a statement
But just you wait child, says God, just you wait
As she cries in the car, just you wait

Lonely little boy shouldn't have to see
Dad shouting at Mommy on the couch weeping
Only to be taken from Mom, leaving the country
Moving from house to house, never really staying
And when Mom finally finds you
Dad tells you to choose
So you stay with Dad, because what are you supposed to do?
But just you wait, child, just you wait
Your mother thinks of you and prays

They're reunited after years and years
He's nineteen and she's in tears
In Rockwall Texas on solid ground
Because she prayed and He always hears
Little boy had to lose himself in order to find faith



Little girl loves a boy on accident
Don't tell her she does because she will deny it
You know, it makes her hate herself because why oh why
When there's nothing you can do so you close your eyes
But just you wait little girl, just you wait
Get down on those knees and pray
Just you wait

She doesn't even want to hear the test results
Nothing's happening, and everything at once
Why.
It hurts too much, but at the same time she's grown numb
Maybe she just wants to know she's still one of us
That she's allowed to cry whenever she wants
Her Mom and her family and her best friend
Dying for beginnings and crying for ends
But just you wait, just you wait
You'll smile when you look back one day
Just you wait

He beats his guitar at three a.m.
But no one will know 'cause he'll never tell them
Wondering what's keeping him here
Sobbing into his pillow even though nobody hears
Swearing to the closet door he'll run away
Making lists of what he'll take
But just you wait, oh just you wait
You can only see through a little frame,
Just you wait
