    "I Don't Want to Wait" is a song written, recorded, and produced by American singer-songwriter Paula Cole. Cole wrote the song in mid-1996 and released it as second single from her second studio album, This Fire (1996), on October 14, 1997. The single release was successful, reaching No. 11 in the United States and No. 5 in Canada. VH1 ranked "I Don't Want to Wait" as one of the 100 Greatest Songs of the '90s at No. 81.[1] The song later served as the opening theme for the American teen drama television series Dawson's Creek, which ran from 1998 to 2003.

    LYRICS:
    So open up your morning light
    And say a little prayer for I
    You know that if we are to stay alive
    Then see the peace in every eye
    She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
    In the war of '44
    Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
    When she thought it was God calling her
    Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    I want to know right now what will it be
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
    He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
    Wearing shrapnel in his skin
    And the war he saw lives inside him still
    It's so hard to be gentle and warm
    The years pass by, and now, he has granddaughters
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    I want to know right now what will it be
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    Will it be yes or will it be...
    Oh, so you look at me from across the room
    You're wearing your anguish again
    Believe me, I know the feeling
    It sucks you into the jaws of anger
    Oh, so breathe a little more deeply
    All we have is this very moment
    And I don't want to do what his father, and his father, and his father did
    I want to be here now
    So open up your morning light
    And say a little prayer for I
    You know that if we are to stay alive
    Then see the peace in every eye
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    I want to know right now what will it be
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    Will it be yes or will it be...
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    I want to know right now what will it be
    I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
    Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
    So open up your morning light
    And say a little prayer for I
    You know that if we are to stay alive
    Then see the love in every eye

      I actually watched the show when I was in my late teens and early 20s. I liked it for the most part, until they did an abrupt about-face and hooked Joey up with Pacey. That ticked me off like nothing else, at the time.

      Anyone who doesn't listen or REMEMBERS the 90s song or lyrics clearly doesn't truly have a soul for the 90's. I'm here because of "City of Angels" and also I honestly feel I've taken the 90's music for granted and now I'll always remember the 90's and their messages they send. Music today... Hit or Miss. But the 90's Music... Pure Fun, Powerful, and Worth Appreciating.

    Every telephone ring…
    She thought it was God calling her….
    😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
    Translation:
    It was Paula’s Grandmother who was afraid that the telephone call she would have received would be a notification that her husband had died… hence God calling her. These are such a profound meaningful line that truly brought me to tears 😢 when I realized that’s the song was truly about. War, pain and PTSD.
