Mumps - Waiting For the World (To Catch Up) Lyrics

You know how hard it is to say good-bye
And when I think of you, I want to cry
But I'm not coming back - I can't tell a lie, I'm
Waiting for the world to catch up

Don't know who pushed the button on the time machine
But I don't really care; I love what I've seen
Too bad you can't be here to see what I mean by
Waiting for the world to catch up

It's lonely to be before your time
If only you could see that I'm

So eager to be sharing - to spread the word
Oh, you just can't imagine things that I've heard
And as I savor things that haven't occurred, I'm
Waiting for the world to catch up

It's lonely to be before your time
If only you could see that I'm

A little sad to have them right in my hand
All of the answers that you can't understand
But you don't seem to want to; I never planned to be
Waiting for the world to catch up
