“And I never thought this life was possible, You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for.”

“I just kind of thought about doing this my whole life. I never doubted myself once. I've always been singing, and I've always wanted to be on tour with a rock band.”

“I am not," I said. "I've been waiting forever."”

“I'm still there, watching those possessed children, as far away from the mystery now as I was then. I've never written, though I thought I wrote, never loved, though I thought I loved, never done anything but wait outside the closed door.”

“You're always waiting on the tide,
It's time you decide.
I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all.
You never wanted time to end,
To let my life offend.”

“Ooo remember, baby, how you made me feel just like a king?
Ah, I've been waiting
I'm ready for you to start doin' the things
So I'll know you're mine.
You're so fine, so petite, oh candy sweet.
Ah, I've been waiting.
Come here, baby, get to this.”

“And I've been to darker places
That I never thought I'd go
And I've learned lots of lessons
I can say I'm finally home.”

“Patience, grasshopper," said Maia. "Good things come to those who wait."
"I always thought that was 'Good things come to those who do the wave,'" said Simon. "No wonder I've been so confused all my life.”

“Wait for it, wait for it! Anticipation is half the fun. So I've been told…”

“Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
I think it's time to board another
Please understand, I never had a secret chart
to get me to the heart of this
or any other matter”
