[Verse 1]
Tied up in the wrong stuff
When you're attracted to violence
I know it's a problem
Your face is glued to the back of my eyelids
And in the church basement
With my anarchist leanings
I'm only there to see you
Thursday nights at the AA meetings
[Chorus]
And if you don't want me around
Why am I still waitin'?
Yeah, I'm still waitin' right here for you
I'm still waitin'
I should be taking a sabbatical from you
[Verse 2]

And me, je ne sais pas, I'm still workin' on that passive aggression
Two hundred bucks a week to talk about my lack of direction?

In case that wasn't clear from the last three sеssions
"And if you're still feelin' down
Be honest with yoursеlf
I think you still want me around
[Chorus]
That's why I'm still waitin'
Yeah, I'm still waitin' right here for you
I'm still waitin'
I'm not taking a sabbatical from you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Waitin'
Yeah, I'm still waitin' right here for you
I'm still waitin'
I'm not taking a sabbatical from you

“‘Waiting’ came about by smashing the heaviest riff Nestor could write with the simplest, most uplifting chorus I could write, just to see what would happen. The results were very quintessentially PUP, in that the song is a flurry of darkness and anger through the joyous lens of four guys just happy...
I asked Nestor to send me this running document of guitar riffs that he has. He sent me these five pretty heavy riffs, and from that we used one on ‘Waiting’ that I really love. I thought the best way to make it feel like a PUP song, rather than a metal song or a hardcore song, was the simplest, mos...
