[Verse 1]
Hurry, hurry up and wait
Is how the waiting game is played
A thousand moving parts keep score
Inside the watch we can't ignore

[Refrain]
So let's hurry
Oh, let's hurry up and wait

[Verse 2]
Much too tired to try
Much too stubborn to quit
On an island in between
The coasts of hit or miss
Are we settlers or are we natives of this land?
Only time will tell on which pedestal we were meant to stand

[Refrain]
So let's hurry
Oh, let's hurry up and wait
So let's hurry
Oh, let's hurry, hurry up and wait

[Bridge]
Every cloud above's full of splattered paint
Every seed below lies patiently in wait
But a watched kettle never boils
A watched tree never grows
May we have our tea in the forest
May we reap all that we sow
[Refrain]
So let's hurry
So let's hurry, hurry up, hurry up and wait
So let's hurry
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
