In the song "I Don't Wanna Wait" by The Veronicas, the lyrical heroine expresses her impatience and desire for reciprocation in a relationship. She is tired of the uncertainty and passivity of her partner, as evidenced by the constantly repeating phrase "I don't wanna wait."

The heroine makes it clear that this person is very dear to her and she needs him ("'Cause I need you, / Can't you see that I need you?"), but her patience is running out. She doesn't want to waste time on empty hopes and games ("Baby, it's you I want, / So stop wasting my time," "I don't wanna play / ... Play this game with you").

She craves certainty and asks her partner to make a choice ("Baby, it's you I need, / So make up your mind, / It's time to choose"). The fear of losing a loved one shows through in the lines "Every time you stay, / Life makes sense to me... / And when you go, / I wanna scream 'til you know...".

The repetition of the phrase "I don't wanna wait" emphasizes the emotionality and determination of the heroine. She is no longer willing to put up with uncertainty and is ready to fight for her happiness.
