Among her hits include "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone," "Me," "I Am So Ordinary," "I Believe In Love," and the theme to the WB's hit series "Dawson's Creek," "I Don't Want to Wait."

Grammy winner and 7 time Grammy nominee Paula Cole has released six solo albums spanning an eighteen year career. She has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton (and many more.) Cole’s emotionally deep and thrilling performances are a trademark. Poetic and fiercely touching, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock, Annie Lennox, Katherine McPhee to name a few. From a small town in Massachusetts Paula Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close. Cole is a scholarship alumna from Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined), and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows. As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the best Producer Grammy nomination for her work, “This Fire”, Cole has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top ten hits of the 1990’s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums, Paula Cole continues to write, produce, record and perform heartfelt, meaningful, lasting music that defies categorization.

I Don't Want to Wait
Paula Cole Lyrics

So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And 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 passed by and now
He has a granddaughter

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 my love
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
And 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
And see the love 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?

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doo doooo

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Ohhh, so 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
Ohhh, 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

This song never meant much to me growing up. My sisters watched Dawson's Creek religiously and I never paid much attention to it. I joined the military, did my overseas tour, and now this song stings. Can't believe how no one talked about how this song was so far ahead of it's time talking about ptsd and how it effects the families of the military. I'm doing a lot better now. I had ten years to figure myself out and love myself more than my previous self gave him credit for.
Nowadays this song makes me cry because I'm happy I'm not the same guy who didn't love himself like I do now. I'm just thankful I pushed through all the dark times and gave my life a chance.

I knew this song meant so much, and it still does. It’s just hard to put a finger on, but I remember the way this song sounded and in the nineties I thought about things and heard this song as a kid and pondered so much. I loved how it ended with the drum beat like that and that always made me think. I always felt like “yeah....yup, that’s how it’s going, but there’s so much more to know, and I’m just a kid, so I don’t even understand the world the adults are living in....”

The 90's were such hopeful fun free times. Whoever is responsible for this DISASTER deserves a reckoning for what they have stolen....I cannot believe it is even the same world.

I remember being so little, at the grocery store with my mom. This song always seemed to come on. She would push me in the cart, and we would sing along happily while shopping. 🖤 Those are nice memories.

The second verse of this song hits so hard, talking about men who survived the war and ptsd.

I will always associate this song with a friend of mine who had no license, no vehicle registration, no tags and no insurance...but really wanted McDonalds.

This was the song he sang the whole way there and back.

This reminds me of my mom in the late 90’s driving me in her Mercury Villager to her pottery shop and listening to the radio. Such a great time.

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 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?

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
So breathe a little more deeply my love
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 love 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 was born in 1962. A lot of the men I knew were world war 2 veterans which in my very humble opinion, was the last noble war that Americans were involved in. I dont mean to take anything away from the huge sacrifice that many men and families made in wars after that. They were completely justified for following they’re feeling of doing what they thought was the right and patriotic thing to do. I find no fault with the men and women who choose to fight on the average Americans behalf. I do find a lot of fault with the powers that be, that choose to start wars over the rich not losing they’re money. I believe the Korean and Vietnam wars were for this very reason. I will never sacrifice one of my children for this reason and I think most Americans are with me on this, There are reasons to fight but, not to keep rich people rich.
I don’t begrudge people who are especially talented or intelligent having more then the average person in this country. But, I do begrudge how much they think they deserve than the average American. Let’s say they deserve 5 times more, than i am ok, I can deal with that. If I’m making 10 dollars an hour, they are making 50 dollars an hour. I get that, they are smarter and more educated than I am.

But, right now the average CEO is making 360 times more money than his average employee. Which means, if I am making 10 dollars an hour, the CEO is making 3600.00 an hour. Is it just me or does this seem a little ridiculous.
Couldn’t this guy spread the wealth around just a bit. Come on, isn’t 100 times more than the average employee enough? Isn’t your 1000.00 to our 10.00 enough? When will it be enough?
I don’t understand this kind of greed. What makes you think you are 360 times more important than the average American?

I have had this song stuck in my head 24/7 after I started watching the show again.

Always loved this theme song growing up, even though I didn't watch much of the show due to being slighter younger than the intended age demographic. It just pulls at the heartstrings.

Just really listened to this for the first time, and it lands with me. My mom went missing 2 days after my 5th birthday and now at 30 I still don't know what happened. The open question is the worst.
