Eric Himan - I Don't Wait Well lyrics

rate me

Ever since I was five years old

Time was something unto which

I could not hold

I would stare at the clock to see when

It would wave goodbye with boths its hands

It took every part of me to stay seated.

I don't wait well, I don't wait well

No, I don't wait well.

Flash forward to seventeen

Can you hear the sirens blaring

Down the street

Officer I can explain!

I didn't mean to run that light

But I really can't afford to miss my show tonight

Would you let me off with a warning…please?

I don't wait well, I don't wait well

No, I don't wait well.

My impatience sometimes robs me

Of being present, being simply

Schedule does not permit to take the time

Live in the moment

All this rushing leads to more waiting…

I don't wait well….
