Lyrics What Are You Waiting for? - Paradise Fears

What Are You Waiting for?

I think I’m going broke, from paying my dues
I’ve been tossed and turned, and left black and blue
I’ve been faced with decisions where I had to choose
It’s either one you win, one you lose
These times will get you so damn mad
You gotta roll with the punches, and smile with the sad
Tell myself when I finally look back
I’ll think, «Oh my god what a life I had»
We’re alive
We’re alive
What are you waiting for?
We’re alive
We’re alive
What are you waiting for?
I remember when my Dad told me he thought I could make it
This world is only there for those willing to take it
Now I’ll stop at nothing, no matter the cost
I’ll feel a thousand loves, a thousand loss
There’s a world that I’ve heard of, I’m planning to see it
I can be anything if I only believe it
Tell myself that when I finally look back
I’ll think, Oh my god what a life I’ve had
They say there’s heaven if you wait, I think I’m living right through it You
wanna live forever, huh?
Then just do it
They say it’s a long road, but lately I don’t know
If this life I’m living is all that I’m meant for
So I’mma live my life by my Mom’s little advice
She said «You love it?
Embrace it.
You want it?
Then chase it.»
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
