can't wait to... + a noun

Hi,

Can I say:

I can't wait to the end of the world.

I think there must be a verb following this phrase.

I see a couple of possible scenarios here. 1) You are waiting for someone to do something and are impatient: "I can't wait until the end of the world [for you to do that]. ]

[In this case, "can't wait" is usually used as an exaggeration.]
