Hurry Up and Wait Lyrics

[Verse 1]
90 miles a minute
Life's a circus and you're in it
Too afraid to admit it
You're spinning out of control

[Verse 2]
So, keep going like you've got this
Keep smiling just to hide it
Keep moving not to notice
It's slowly taking its toll

[Pre-Chorus]
The faster you can slow this down
To the rhythm of right now
The sooner you find your strength

[Chorus]
So hurry up and wait
Rest your weary head for a moment
Hurry up and wait
Feel the burden lift off your shoulders
Hurry up and—

[Verse 3]
Wait just a minute
Now that I got your attention
I think it's worth saying again
So I'm gonna say it again, say it again
[Pre-Chorus]
The faster you can slow this down
To the rhythm of right now
The sooner you find your strength

[Chorus]
So hurry up and wait
Rest your weary head for a moment
Hurry up and wait
Feel the burden lift off your shoulders
Hurry up and
Wait

[Bridge]
We will run and not grow weary
We will walk and not grow faint
We will run and not grow weary
We will walk and not grow faint

[Chorus]
Hurry up and wait
Rest your weary head for a moment, hey
Hurry up and wait
Feel the burden lift off your shoulders
So hurry up and wait
[Outro]
Run and not grow weary (Run and not grow weary)
Walk and not grow faint (Walk and not grow faint)
Hurry up and—
Run and not grow weary
Walk and not grow faint

Hurry up and—
