Waiting on the Weekend by Harbour Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stare at the ceiling in the living room
Another day of goin' through the motions
Empty chatter of the evening news;
Yesterday's dinner heating on the stove and
You must be jokin', yeah
[Chorus]
This can't be living
And if it is, it isn't really what I want
Keep justifying it;
"It's just what everybody does when they're young"
You must be kidding
Everybody wait five days to have any fun
We're not really living life
We're all just waitin' on the weekend to come
[Verse 2]
A corner office and a paycheck too
Might not be broke but you can still be broken
Think retirement will wait for you
65 years old where do you think you're goin'?
Just keep on hopin'
[Chorus]
This can't be living
And if it is, it isn't really what I want
Keep justifying it;
"It's just what everybody does when they're young"
You must be kidding
Everybody wait five days to have any fun
We're not really living life
We're all just waitin' on the weekend to come
[Verse 3]
I drink the world of all it's very best
I wanna soak up all it has to offer
We'll live in worry or in fear of death
Some things have higher value than the dollar
If this is it why do I even bother?
[Chorus]
This can't be living
And if it is, it isn't really what I want
Keep justifying it;
"It's just what everybody does when they're young"
You must be kidding
Everybody wait five days to have any fun
We're not really living life
We're all just waitin' on the weekend to come
Stare at the ceiling in the living room
Another day of goin' through the motions
Empty chatter of the evening news;
Yesterday's dinner heating on the stove and
You must be jokin', yeah
[Chorus]
This can't be living
And if it is, it isn't really what I want
Keep justifying it;
"It's just what everybody does when they're young"
You must be kidding
Everybody wait five days to have any fun
We're not really living life
We're all just waitin' on the weekend to come
[Verse 2]
A corner office and a paycheck too
Might not be broke but you can still be broken
Think retirement will wait for you
65 years old where do you think you're goin'?
Just keep on hopin'
[Chorus]
This can't be living
And if it is, it isn't really what I want
Keep justifying it;
"It's just what everybody does when they're young"
You must be kidding
Everybody wait five days to have any fun

We're all just waitin' on the weekend to come
