Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been sitting up waiting for my sugar to show
I've been listening to the sirens and the radio
Listening to the sirens and the radio
He said he'd be over three hours ago
I've been waiting for his car on the hill
Waiting for his car on the hill
[PreChorus]
He makes friends easy
He's not like me
I watch for judgement anxiously
Now where in the city can that boy be?
[Chorus]
Waiting for a car
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing the hill
[Verse 2]
He's a real good talker, I think he's friend
Fast tires come screaming around the bend
Fast tires come screaming around the bend
But there's still no buzzer
They roll on
And I'm waiting for his car on the hill
Waiting for a car on the hill
[PreChorus]
It always seems so righteous at the start
When there's so much laughter
When there's so much spark
When there's so much sweetness in the dark
[Chorus]
Waiting for a car
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing the hill
