Lyrics I've Been Waiting for This - Butch Walker

I've Been Waiting for This

That time I shot that squirrel up in that tree I felt so sad
His body limp and lifeless as I looked up at my Dad
This gun is the best enemy, worst friend that I’ve had
What shall I do?
Ooh ooh ooh
I swear I’ve lived a lot of lives
I’ve seen most if not all
But nothing can prepare you for the coldness of the fall
And it’s hard to look behind you when your back’s up against a wall
What can you do?
Ooh ooh ooh
(Guess I gotta prove it to you)
I, I was young now it’s old
I’ve been waiting for this
I, I was young now it’s old
I’ve been waiting for this
All I know is I hope as I’m ready to die and I live while I cry
I’ve been waiting for this
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this
I’ve been waiting for this
This wedding ring is older than most girls on this floor
And I was married at their age not with this ring but before
How the hell do you know what love is when you’re already divorced at 22?
Ooh ooh ooh
I, I was young now it’s old
I’ve been waiting for this
I, I was young now it’s old
I’ve been waiting for this
All I know is I hope as I’m ready to die and I live while I cry
I’ve been waiting for this
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this
I’ve been waiting for this
I’ve been waiting for this
Now the drinks are getting harder and my mind is gettin' soft
In the car, yeah, I would start her if I learned to shut it off
But the drive keeps me alive with just one foot inside the coffin instead of two
Ooh ooh ooh
(Brother I’ve been waiting for this day)
I, I was young now it’s old
I’ve been waiting for this
Yeah, I was young now I’m old
I’ve been waiting for this
All I know is I hope as I’m ready to die and I live while I cry
I’ve been waiting for this
Hey, 'cause I’ve been waiting for this
Cause I’ve been waiting for this
'Cause I’ve been waiting for this
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this
I’ve been waiting for this
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this
