I've been waiting all my life, 00:42
For the moment to arrive, 00:46
In a place without the harm, 00:49
Below the storm. 00:54
Thinking about the days and nights, 00:58
Thinking that you hold me tight, 01:01
And I'm gone away! 01:06
I hate to wait. 01:11
Yes, I hate to wait. 01:15
Yes, I hate to wait. 01:18
Yes, I hate to wait. 01:21
Don't, don't, 01:28
Don't leave me waiting. 01:31
'Cause all I want to see inside 01:39
See your soul. 01:43
Thinking about the days and nights, 02:00
You hold me tight, 02:04
Help me in the night, 02:08
Thinking about the days he did, 02:14
Thinking about the things you were, 02:22
Thinking about the harm and pain, 02:29
I hate to wait. 02:43
Yes, I hate to wait. 02:46
Yes, I hate to wait. 02:49
Yes, I hate to wait. 02:52

'Cause all I want to be 03:10
Is right you with me. 03:12
Hate to wait my days, 03:43
Knocked out of the storm, 03:45
Hate to wait my days! 03:48
Hate to wait my days, 03:50
Cause all the way! 03:54
I hate to wait. 04:04
I hate to wait. 04:06
I hate to wait. 04:08
I hate to wait! 04:10
