This song just weeps 80s / 90s pop with a kick of blues (not sure if there is intentional irony)... and Kelly's voice is absolutely incredible on this recording.
Possibly my all-time favorite StP song.
The melody and delivery are so simple, yet so memorable. Bittersweet even.
Your analyses seem pretty much spot-on -- you can anticipate and live with all of your human expectations, but once they arrive, were they worth it? Living for the moment, appreciation for what you possess. The protagonists in the song "run through" life's events without really noticing anything in particular. Hurry up and wait is a good oxymoron -- rush to nowhere.
