Hurry Up and Wait

Start the race, resume the chase, pick up the pace, it’s all a waste… of time.
Hurry up and wait!

Another day has come and gone, never to return.
Rushing through our obligations, waiting for our turn.
Two steps forward, one step back, and focused on the lack.
No time left to stop or think, you must pick up the slack.
Running out of time… hurry to the back of the line… Running out of time…
I run my life by time, but time is just eluding me.

The time has come and gone and now it’s getting late.
Seems like I live my life to hurry up and wait.

Just past the starting gate, accelerate!
And when we’re finished here, is it too late?
We ask the urgent questions, impatiently we wait.
Too rushed to hear the answers of our future and our fate.
Running out of time… hurry to the back of the line…
Running out of time… don’t waste my time!

I run my life by time, but time is always running me!

The time has come and gone and now it’s getting late.
Seems like we live our lives to hurry up and wait.
The time has come and gone and now it’s getting late.
Why do we live our lives to hurry up and wait?

Time sneaks up and passes by, still we wait and don’t know why.
Start the race, resume the chase, pick up the pace, it’s all a waste… of time.
Hurry up and wait!

Uncomfortable in silence, preoccupied with time.
Focused on the trivia while we wait in line.
Frenzied in anxiety, the racing of the rats.
Waiting for the perfect future, wondering where it’s at.

Running out of time! Running out of time!

The time has come and gone and now it’s really late.
Seems like we live our lives to hurry up and wait.
The time has come and gone, come and gone…
Why do we live our lives to hurry up and wait?

Start the race, resume the chase, pick up the pace, it’s all a waste… of time.
Hurry up and wait!
