These Things Songtext

Lately I have been getting impatient. I can feel every second of every hour, every day.
Lately I have been thinking too much, and the thought of all the years I'll have to wait keeps me awake.

Time is passing oh so slowly... oh, they say ?the future's looking bright.?
And I know ?these things take some waiting,? but aren't we told that all the time?

Lately I have been feeling like I am stuck with my roots in the ground, but I am ready to move on.
Lately I have been searching for words to describe how I'm feeling, but lately all the words I have are wrong.

Time is passing oh so slowly... oh, they say ?the futures looking bright.?
