How it happens, I don't care
If it's raining or what I wear
I know today is taking me were I'm meant to be

Doesn't matter where I go with my
Phoney jewels, or rock star phone

I'm waiting for a friend to call, or the rain to fall
Life goes by
Who knows why

[Chorus]
I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to be happenin'
Oh, what's it gonna take
I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll be shining like the sun

I can't wait
(I can't wait)

Bum
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Yeah

Everybody has their day
Where things just seem to go their way
An angel's gonna smile on me when I'm meant to be

Anything is possible no matter how incredible
You never know who I might meet on this crowded street

Life goes on
Like the sun

[Chorus]

I haven't got forever and I haven't got all day
Oh I don't want my world to stay the same
So where's that magic moment to carry me away

[Chorus]

I can't wait
I can't wait

    General Comment:This is a great song. It isn't meant to an Alician Keys or Smokey Robinson masterpiece. The music and melody is very simple. She basically stays on the same notes throughout the whole song, not much range, which makes this song so easy to sing. But, for a young and fun song, this is cool. THIS SONG IS ABOUT ENJOYING YOURSELF AND KEEPING HOPE ALIVE AND DREAMS IN YOUR HEART. THE THEME IS THAT LIFE IS UNCERTAIN AND WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN OR WHAT CHOICES TO MAKE. BUT THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF LIFE--JUST MAKING THE MOST OF IT.

    General Comment:"I know dogs that can sing better than hilary duff." - I'd love to see that. I love all her songs, she's better than Avril Lavigne or Ashlee Simpson. Nuff said.

    General Comment:aren't we supposed to write about what the SONG means to us and not the ARTIST. although i'll just say, everybody is entitles to thier own opinion.

    Are there any Australians out there who remember this very song being released by an Australian artist called Brooke McClymont around 2001? It was in the Australian charts, but didn't do so well. Not many people remember it. I'm pretty sure Hilary recorded it after this and sorta made it more "well known". I know Brooke's name is listed as being a song writer, but her version was different and obviously the Hilary version was altered to make the lyrics more "personal" to Hilary...

    General Comment:first of all, "music*ismyboyfriend", i DO make better music. you DON'T know me. i play 6 instruments and i am in a band that writes their own, real music, okay?? so don't assume that i'm a "know-nothing", idiot like hilary duff, who is, in fact, A SLUT. and don't be a cry baby, because everyone is entitled to their own fucking opinion. so don't come back here saying that we don't know anything.

    General Comment:if you wanna listen to a REAL song about waiting, listen to Green Day's "Waiting". They write their own lyrics. it's not fake, cocksucking, shit like this. hilary is a poser and she can keep on throwing up for all i care.

    General Comment:Hilary Duff isn't fat at all. And even if she was, so what? We don't need mini paris hiltons running around on this earth. You may not like Hilary Duff, but respect her as an artist. She's just doing what she loves.

    General Comment:Aww, people dont be so mean. I mean yeah duff isnt the greatest but i mean she's really young and i mean completely rich, and little girls look up to her, and i thinks shes pretty cool. And most of her music isnt very good, and this song isnt either, but its very old, and its just a happy song you play on a happy day, so cut her some slack! And shes not fat, she might not be Paris Hilton, but thank God we dont need another Hilton.
