In a rented car that smelled of Old Spice
I was headed for the wedding
In my wedding dress
Not too bold, but nice
I was headed for the wedding

And through the driver's window the wedding party came into view
You stood with my family
Your clothes were so new
So crisp and creaseless
And you had that careful smile on
I told the driver "Please drive on"

I left you waiting...
I left you waiting
Had I known sooner
I would not have left you waiting

You planned a perfect love
I fit - I went along
Suddenly all that tastefulness felt wrong
The driver said "Hey, I could circle back"
"No, no" I said "Please drive on"

I left you waiting...

And now I've ruined everything
There's hell to pay for this
My family will be outraged
they want that permanent kiss
But all I feel is a vast relief
I drape my legs across the seat.

I left you waiting...
