Lyrics

I've got a job

I have a job.

I've got to move this paper

I need to handle this paperwork or responsibility.

I guess it's all the same to you

It might not matter to you.

But I can't sit around and wait

I cannot remain idle.

Can't Sit around and wait for you.

I won't wait around for you.


It never works

Previous approaches or promises haven’t been successful.

You say you'll call me later

You promise to contact me later, but you never follow through.

And then you never ever do.

You consistently fail to keep your promise of calling later.

I can't sit around and wait

I won't wait around for you.

Can't Sit around and wait for you.

-

Just another cup of coffee,

Passing time with something mundane while waiting.

I'll sit around and wait for you.

Accepting the act of waiting for you.


I always knew

I always suspected.

Yeah, I always knew

My suspicion about your dishonesty.

You were a liar.

You have a history of lying.

I'm not a king, I'm not a cop.

I don't hold authority or judgment over you.

I'm not here to punish you.

I'm not here to punish or reprimand you.

When I really can't see anymore of what the fuss is all about

I'm confused about the importance of this situation.


It's not my career

It's not my role to wait and do things for you.

To wait and do you favors

Maybe it's not significant after all.

I guess it's really nothing do

This situation might not have any importance.


When I'm running late

When I'm delayed or behind schedule.

You call the undertaker

You're overwhelmed and stressed.

Because you've got so much shit to do

You have too much to handle.

I can't sit around and wait

I won't wait around for you.

Can't sit around and wait for you.

-

Just one more cigarette,

Using another activity as a means of waiting.

I'll sit around and wait for you.

Accepting the act of waiting for you.


I always knew

I always suspected.

Yeah, I always knew

My suspicion about your dishonesty.

You were a liar.

Your history of lying.

I'm not a king, I'm not a cop.

I don't hold authority or judgment over you.

I'm not here to punish you.

I'm not here to punish or reprimand you.

When I really can't see anymore of what the fuss is all about

I'm confused about the importance of this situation.


Just another cup of coffee,

Passing time with something mundane while waiting.

I'll sit around and wait for you.

Accepting the act of waiting for you.

Just one more cigarette,

Using another activity as a means of waiting.

I'll sit around and wait for you.

Accepting the act of waiting for you.

I guess I really will

Realizing the commitment to wait for you.

I'll sit around and wait for you.

Commitment to wait for you.
