I awake to the sound of a ringing bell
bitter taste in my mouth I know all too well
I send all my hopes down a wishing well
there's a film on a screen
it connects with me
flash ahead thirty years and it could be me
I just shut my eyes til the final scene
the credits rolling
I'm just waiting for the end to come
I don't know if I can last that long
it goes so slow
it goes so slow
and then it's over
I've been told it goes fast like a finger snap
but it won't motivate me enough to act
I just smile and wave from my mousetrap
I want to move, I want to feel, I want to see the light
I want to rid myself of every kilobyte
one day I'll rewind
from nightfall back to sunshine
I'm just waiting for the end to come
I don't know if I can last that long
it goes so slow
it goes so slow
as it gets closer
I'll just wait to the end to start over
there's a chance I'll look back at what I gave up
suddenly I will see that there' was no rush
I am well aware but I still don't care
just get me there
I'm just waiting for the end to come
I don't know if I can last that long
it goes so slow
it goes so slow
and then it's over
I'm just waiting for the end . . .
