Waiting Songtext
von The Band’s Visit Original Broadway Company

Waiting, what′s new here?
You're waiting, I′m waiting
Cause that's what we do here
Same as we do every day
For something, I don't know, to happen
You know, just something different to happen
Just waiting for something to change
Just a change

Sometimes it feels like we′re moving in a circle
Around and around with the same scenery going by
But no one′s complaining
Were experts at waiting


Time's like a river sometimes
Time is an ocean
This sofa is my boat
And I′m just drifting right along

Time is like syrup (Just waiting for something)
And I'm the bug stuck in the syrup (to happen, for anything to happen)
Just kind of trying to find out (waiting to find out)
What I′m doing wrong (what I'm doing wrong)


You know what I think?
There′s two kinds of waiting
There's the kind where you're expecting
Something new or even strange
But this kind of waiting
You keep looking off out into the distance
Even though you know the view is never gonna change
You wait (waiting for something, for anything to happen)
You wait (just waiting for anything I′m waiting...)
You just wait (... to happen,
Waiting for something, for anything to happen)
And wait
