Hurry Up & Wait Lyrics

Another day of going straight to voicemail

I pick up on the first vibrations

You've got me waiting like a damsel in a tower

And I can't say how much I hate that

I'm wrapped around your finger

Your canary, a puppet on a string

I'm on the edge of disaster

You leave me hanging again

Why's it always

Hurry up and wait

Claustrophobic, got me in your little cage

And I know that there's no letting me go

I am Sisyphus, endlessly pushing against my fate

Hurry up and wait

Claustrophobic, got me in your little cage

And I know that there's no letting me go

I am Sisyphus, endlessly pushing against my fate

Hurry up–wait

Hurry up–wait

Hurry up–wait

Wait, wait, wait

My lips are sealed, nondisclosure, I'm compliant

You tell me jump and up I go off the ledge

You've got me flinching when you enter the room

And I can't say how much I hate that

I'm wrapped around your finger

Your canary, a puppet on a string

I'm on the edge of disaster

You leave me hanging again

Hurry up and wait

Claustrophobic, got me in your little cage

And I know that there's no letting me go

I am Sisyphus, endlessly pushing against my fate

Hurry up–wait

Hurry up–wait

Hurry up–wait

Wait, wait, wait

I'm wrapped around your finger

Your canary, a puppet on a string

I'm on the edge of disaster

You leave me hanging again

Hurry up and wait

Take a number

Sit back down and know your place

It's ridiculous

I'll shut it down

Even Sisyphus cheated the system

I want a taste

Hurry up and wait

Claustrophobic, got me in your little cage

And I know that there's no letting me go

I am Sisyphus, endlessly pushing against my fate

Hurry up–wait

Hurry up–wait

Hurry up–wait

Wait, wait, wait
