Lately I have been getting impatient

I can feel every second of every hour every day

Lately I have been thinking too much

And the thought of all the years I'll have to wait keeps me awake

Time is passing oh-so slowly

Oh they say "the future's looking bright "

And I know "these things take some waiting "

But aren't we told that all the time

Lately I have been feeling like I am stuck with my roots in the ground

But I am ready to move on

Lately I have been searching for words to describe how I'm feeling

But lately all the words I have are wrong

Time is passing oh-so slowly

Oh they say "the future's looking bright "

And I know "these things take some waiting "

But aren't we told that all the time

Time is passing oh-so slowly

Oh they say "the future's looking bright "

And I know "these things take some waiting "

But aren't we told that all the time
