What Are You Waiting For (Radio Version) Lyrics
Shawn Mcdonald
Lyrics
You have always been a run away
Always looking for a place that's safe
Cause you are disappointed with the world
The hand that you were dealt
And I get it why you feel that way
Cause it doesn't ever seem to change
But have you ever really tried to trust
Something outside yourself
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
You're standing at an open door
This is your life, you never live twice
Step through to the other side
Cause there's so much more
So what are you waiting
What are you waiting for
You don't have to be afraid
To believe in something unexplained
Cause this is where the road begins
And where the healing starts
So open up your eyes my friend
Cause this is where the searching ends
You don't have to keep the wounds
And walls around your heart
So what are you waiting for
You're standing at an open door
This is your life, you never live twice
Cause there's so much more
Go ahead and say goodbye
Go ahead start tonight
Come over come over
To the other side
Just go and say goodbye
Go ahead start tonight
Come over come over
To the other side
What are you waiting
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
You're standing at an open door
This is your life, you never live twice
Step through to the other side
Cause there's so much more
So go ahead and say goodbye
Go ahead start tonight
Come over come over
To the other side
You can
Go ahead and say goodbye
Go ahead start tonight
Come over come over
To the other side
What are you waiting
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for
