This is the buzz of the alarm
This is the coffee in the pot
This is the bill collector's bill
This is your stomach tied in knots
This is take your kid to work day
This is casual Friday
This is taking all the things away
That nothing ever can repay
I don't wanna wait forever
For this weight to be lifted away
This is that hundred years of solitude
Your mother talked about
This is that sense of obligation
That your daddy handed down
It's that look in the eyes of your
Significant best friend
Who wonders if they're ever gonna
Fall in love with you again
I don't wanna wait forever
Just to wade in the shallow end
This is that hand across your heart
Whenever you see the stripes and stars
This is that hand inside your pocket
When you see the golden arch
This is that head that's on the chopping block
Before the axe falls
This is that cellphone in your head, screaming
"Buy, sell, buy, sell, buy, sell"
I don't want to wait forever
For this dumbwaiter to Hell
This is that van of yours, Kathleen
Broke down and left you out in Nashville
This is that bus you hopped on, Ben
To bring her back home still
This is that camera out of film
That's hanging dead around my neck
This is the rest of us all standing on
This tiny little speck
I don't wanna wait forever
Just to say it again
I don't wanna wait forever
For the waiter to bring the check
This is that song that we'll forget
If we don't play before too long
This is that record I still hear
Long after everyone is gone
This is my sense of self confined
To the consignment bin of fate
This is the best it's ever been
But, man, it's still too late
I don't wanna wait forever
Just to hurry up and wait
Ask not for whom the toll is paid
