Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am a patient boy

I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait

My time, water down a drain

[Verse 2]

Everybody's moving, everybody's moving

Everybody's moving, moving, moving, moving

Please don't leave me to remain

[Chorus]

In the waiting room, I don't want the news (I have no use for it)

I don't want the news (I want no part of it)

Sitting outside of town

Everybody's always down (Tell me why)

Because they can't get up

Come on and get up

Come on and get up

[Verse 3]

But I don't sit idly by

I'm planning a big surprise

I'm gonna fight for what I want to be

[Verse 4]

And I won't make the same mistakes ('Cause I know)

Because I know how much time that wastes (And function)

Function is the key

[Chorus]

Up to the waiting room, I don't want the news (I have no use for it)

I don't want the news (I want no part of it)

Sitting outside of town

Everybody's always down (Tell me why?)

Because they can't get up

Come on and get up

[Bridge]

Up from the waiting room

[Outro]

Sitting in the waiting room

Sitting in the waiting room

Sitting in the waiting room

Sitting in the waiting room (Tell me why)

Because they can't get up
