[ Featuring Day ]
What are you waiting for
I'm just trying to be the person my parents always told me to be
I'm just trying to be the man my girls expect for me to be
I'm just trying to be the person always thought I ought to be
But wait, is there something missing
Is there something blissing
Well, anyway, what's been on my mind
That ever since I was a small kind of walking on a thin line
Between what's wrong and what's right
Somehow, always ending up
Leaning to the side that everybody dislikes
What are you waiting for
As I grow older
Learn not to care
Not to dwell on my past
Keep running from despair
Put it back in my mind
But I know it's always there
Sometimes it comes up,
Knocking on my door
Tell him, go away, I don't wanna see you anymore
So I try to slam the door
He puts his hand out
Come on, don't you wanna see the heated floor
We got things we know you adore
People never see you differently
So what are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Had to take a moment, take a step back
Look into the sky, ask me why
Who is this guy? Doesn't seem to lie
What does this signify
If I go with him, I will never fly
Then he kept whispering
What are you waiting for
Making me overthink
Question everything that I knew
That was sealed, never to be revealed
I will never be a good person
With all the wrong I have done
Many things I take back
Many things I run from
Wanna be a better person
Wanna prove my worth
Wanna prove I'm more than dirt
Gotta be more alert
There's no time to desert
Gotta put my front first
Then I look into the mirror
Then I ask myself
What are you waiting for
I can never seem to understand you
I have all these questions
But I'm afraid to hear their answers
I might hear I'm not on the list
It's a big twist
Please make your way to the mist
Promise you won't forget this
Then I reflect on who I am
And what I'm turning out to be
Am I fighting for the light
Am I fighting for the dark
I don't know where to start
Hope we don't drift apart
I just wanna play my part
Then I kept hearing
What are you waiting for
