I'm Still Waiting

[Intro] Mmm-hmm... Here we go again... [Verse 1] I pushed the button once Then I pushed it again Like the second time would make it Understand my pain Got a coffee in my left hand Tool bag on my right Been standing in this hallway Since sometime last night [Pre-Chorus] It stopped on seven Then it dropped to three Then it passed me by Like it was judging me I watched that little arrow Change its mind again And I started thinking This is how it's always been [Chorus] I'm still waiting Watching those numbers crawl I pushed that button twenty times Like that helps at all I'm still waiting With my whole life running late Tell me how long How long Is this elevator going to take? [Verse 2] There's a man with a suitcase Staring at the floor A woman on her phone Saying, "I'll be down in four" Some kid keeps jumping Like he's helping it arrive I respect the effort, son But we're all just trying to survive [Pre-Chorus] It opened on two Nobody got in Closed real slow Just to mock us again I could take the stairs But let's not pretend My knees voted no And my back said, Amen [Chorus] I'm still waiting Watching those numbers crawl I pushed that button twenty times Like that helps at all I'm still waiting With my whole life running late Tell me how long How long Is this elevator going to take? [Bridge] I've waited on red lights Waited on rain Waited on hold While they played me soft-rock pain Waited on paychecks Waited on fate Waited on answers That always arrived a little late Maybe life's a hallway Maybe hope's a door Maybe I'm just a tired man Who doesn't ask for much anymore [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] I'm still waiting Watching those numbers crawl I pushed that button twenty times Like that helps at all I'm still waiting But I'm learning how to wait Still asking how long How long Is this elevator going to take? [Spoken Outro] Well look at that... It finally came... Wrong direction... Of course.
