I Don't Wait Well

Ever since I was five years old
Time was something unto which
I could not hold
I would stare at the clock to see when
It would wave goodbye with boths its hands
It took every part of me to stay seated.
I don’t wait well, I don’t wait well
No, I don’t wait well.
Flash forward to seventeen
Can you hear the sirens blaring
Down the street
Officer I can explain!
I didn’t mean to run that light
But I really can’t afford to miss my show tonight
Would you let me off with a warning??¦please?
I don’t wait well, I don’t wait well
No, I don’t wait well.
My impatience sometimes robs me
Of being present, being simply
Schedule does not permit to take the time
Live in the moment
All this rushing leads to more waiting??¦
I don’t wait well??¦.
