lyrics

A rainy day and dreaming of a bicycle ride
And a hill to pedal down but it's too wet to play outside
So I killed the time but now it won't fly
When you wait around inside for the sun to shine
Why does waiting always take a long time?

I couldn't hold it back my mouth started to burn
They told me to be quiet raise your hand and wait your turn
Now I'm stuck behind this red stop sign
And I really wouldn't mind waiting in this line
If waiting didn't take a long time

I'll stop to smell the roses but not for very long
I don't have time to wait for you to sing another song
I could wait all night for the lines to rhyme
Or the rain to fall when my cup is dry
Why does waiting always take a long time?

Life don't happen all at once
That's why we need some patience

Waiting for a phone call with a cat on my lap
When it finally rang I was underneath a nap
So I sat instead and let her snooze
And while she slept I sang this tune
Scratched her neck and it helped me through
It might of been the first time in my life
That waiting didn't take a long time

Waiting didn't take a long time
