Lyrics
CHORUS:
I am so accommodating, always waiting, waiting, waiting
Trying to look very wise
Should I hurry, hurry, hurry, or just worry, worry, worry
And stay behind while others catch the prize?

I’m sleepless in a cheap dress feeling kinda small
Waiting for the rain to fall – to fall
I’m still afraid of daring, so please don’t call
I’m sitting in the corner like a rag doll

CHORUS:
I am always hesitating, always waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for those blue, blue skies
But the sky look so gigantic that I panic, panic, panic
To wonder what befalls the one who tries – and tries

Now I’m cheerful but I’m fearful of the long haul
Will my long, long path end in a brick wall
I am burning to be learning just how to crawl
To roll with the punches like a beach ball

CHORUS:
I removed my armor plating, cause I’m getting tired of waiting
And my soul can’t feed on sighs
The sun is rising higher, like a golden ball of fire
And lighting up my dreams before my eyes – before my eyes



Now I’m restless in my best dress walking tall
The breezes are all whispering “last call”
Unsteady but I’m ready, because I recall
Times when I never really tried at all

CHORUS:
Oh, my heart is palpitating, no more waiting, waiting, waiting
The ground beneath me cries
Better hurry, hurry, hurry, I’ll be leaving in a flurry
Who wises up soon rises up and flies – oh flies

I am so accommodating, but I’m through with waiting, waiting, waiting
