- Ben Abraham - I Don't Want To Wait (Cover)
Paula Cole is one of the great American singer-songwriters and I Don’t Want To Wait is one of the greatest pop choruses to come out of the 90s.
Most people my age know it as the song from the opening credits of Dawson’s Creek but this beautiful song about breaking off generational trauma is rich and timeless and I love singing it.
I performed it for Atlantic Records’ ‘cover nation’ TH-cam channel where someone from Love Island USA came across it and asked for a proper version to be recorded for their 6th season and so here we are.
I love singing songs that were written by real singers. You don’t hear melodies like this much these days. Paula Cole is one of the greats. And for any student of great singers and songwriters you’d do well to dig through her catalogue.

Lyrics
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 wanna wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right now, what will it be?
I don't wanna 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 wanna wait for our lives to be over
I want to know right now, what will it be?
I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be?
I'm here before Ben Abraham is world famous and wont bother making covers anymore. :( Most memorble gig was your gig in London after Covid laws were lifted and people were able to gather again. My heart felt so full.
Lol upvote for your choice of still photo, mate, what a flex 😆 I had to swap tabs just to listen because I couldn't handle you glaring at me
Australian Tour now please!
Please please record a cover of cloudbusting. You’ve put me on the one of the best songs ever but I like your version 1000x better
This is absolutely amazing, better than the original by far!. Please change the picture, its disturbing and giving me sex pest vibes!
Does that mean if I ask for a cover you’ll make it for me?
