Story Behind The Song
I see this a lot in my work as a therapist: A client is in an unhealthy relationships and gets stuck in the fantasy that their partner will change. As long as they continue to relate to this unreality, I feel like it's my job to help them see they may well be waiting forever.
Song Description
It seems that in unhealthy relationships we get stuck in the fantasy that our partner will change, but if we continue to relate to this unreality, we will more than likely be waiting forever.

Lyrics
You Can Wait
You can wait
You can wait for what has gone
You can wait
You can wait, if that's what you want
Or let the truth break through your fantasies
Through the could've and should've-beens
And stop wrestling reality
Cos reality always wins
You can wait
You can wait
You can wait for what has gone
For what's said to be unsaid
What's done to be undone
You can wait, if that's what you want
You can wait
For him to stop being himself
You can wait
For him to be somebody else
Or let the truth break through your fantasies
Through the could've and should've-beens
And stop wrestling reality
Cos reality always wins
You can wait
You can wait
You can wait for what has gone
For what's real to be unreal
For what's true to be untrue
You could wait, if you wanted to
Do what you wanna do
For what's said to be unsaid
What's done to be undone
You can wait if that's what you want
For what's real to be unreal
For what's true to be untrue
You could wait if you wanted to
To unsee that red flag
The warning signs you had
You can wait for what has gone
To unexplode that bomb
To unring that alarm
You can wait
