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 make 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 a man you wished 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, sugar second to dissolve,
See your appetite lost, foods relevance lost inside
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...
