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 they run around naked doing old Things like the ones before Wait for a break so you can take a little Something that'll make your next break Come along a little quicker than the one Before wait 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? We wait to get warm the car starts from Cold stall to make a first move magazines Made the rules to make us lose wait for Your dream man the house you could both Plan the car in the sales ad the wet dream With the man you wished that you had A watched pot never boils Sugars seconds to dissolve See your appetite lost Foods relevance is lost inside So hurry up and wait But what's worth waiting for? So join the queue me and you Wait in line It takes our time to be satisfied
