hurry up and wait

we wait to wake to get a ride in the rain
buy a ticket they can check we can claim
so we don't spend what's our own

for a seat a place to stop a green light
a red cross run around naked
doing old things like the ones before

for a break so you can take a little
something that'll make your next break
come a little quicker than the ones before

for an answer spy a sweet dancer as
she walks from the door of the hall
wish you waited for your wedding vows

so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?
so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?

we wait to get warm the car starts from
cold stall to make a first move magazines
made the rules to make us lose

for your dream man the house you could both
plan the car in the sales ad the wet dream
with the man you wish that you had

so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?
so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?

a watched pot never boils sugars seconds
to dissolve feel your appetite lost foods
relevance is lost inside

we wait to get there
and when we get there
we wait around for anyone
to tell us what we
even got there for

so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?
so hurry up and wait
but what's worth waiting for?

what's worth waiting for?
what's worth waiting for?
what's worth waiting for?
what's worth waiting for?

so join the queue me and you
wait in line it takes our
time to be satisfied
