i love this song. it makes me teary eyed too. Kelly's voice on this track is amazing.
in this song, i just imagine people living life, day to day, sad and depressed, searching for happiness. i think this song is about all the things you do in life to keep yourself happy and live up to the standard of what society says happiness is, in particular relationships and marriages. i think he's saying that people rush into these marriages/relationships thinking it will be the fairytale and the answer to their lives, thinking it will finally make them happy, then spend most of their time, waiting. for what, who even knows in the end? who even knows why they did this or made this jump or this decision? maybe they thought it would make them happy and solve all their problems. so people "hurry up and wait". they rush into things, then sit around waiting for things like happiness to come to them. by the end of the song, i think he's saying to go slow because it takes time to figure out what exactly will make you happy. you have to work at it and that true happiness is worth waiting for.
there's a part left out of the lyrics up there towards that end tho that goes..
Wait to get there, and when we get there,
We wait around for anyone to tell us what we even got there for
