Waiting For Something Lyrics

Joey wants to speed up time

He wants the things he does not have

And a girl to hold and call his own

But Joey's only twelve years old, spends his days wishing for things

Fears he'll always be alone

Time goes fast and time goes slow

Years can come and years can go

As we hold out for that dream

Bill and Janet need more time

They plan vacations far ahead

They need to get away from the 9 to 5

Taking loans they can't repay, but "It's worth it" so they say

Money's not the most important thing in their lives

Time goes fast and time goes slow

Years can come and years can go

As we hold out for that dream

We're waiting for something

To take away the pain, for gain, instead of

Waiting for something

Now's just never great enough, so we'll just wait

Susan lives all by herself

Her husband died along the way

She can still see him in her mind

Looking forward to that day when she can hold him in her arms

Life will begin when she makes it to the other side

Time goes fast and time goes slow

Years can come and years can go

As we hold out for that dream (just wait)

We're waiting for something

To take away the pain, for gain, instead of

Waiting for something

Now's just never great enough, so we'll just wait

Waiting for something

To take away the pain, for gain, instead of

Waiting for something

Now's just never great enough, so we'll just wait

Waiting for something

To take away the pain
