what are you waiting for

Got my head straight

Took my headphones off

Got my bed made

Painted these yellow walls

Freed some headspace

Still feel like something's wrong

Oh

Scratched my elbow

Smoked in a bathroom stall

Broke my cellphone

So I can't hear your calls

Then I relapse

And put my headphones on

Oh

One day

I'll hold my head high, put my shoulders back

Oh, then I'll get by, some way

I'll colour in these lines and scrub away the black

Oh, then I'll have the time to put forth

My piece of self-destruction, little bits of my ruptured

Life living undercover, run away

And leaving nothing behind, no need to waste more time

I'll be here waiting for you

What are you waiting for?

A purpose?

A bright light?

Or a wake-up call?

What do you take me for?

A service?

A safe fight?

Or a late-night call?

Don't need to taste it

I got all that I want

In my basement

A place of no response

To when I say shit

Just leave me to my thoughts

Oh

I feel amazing

Don't tell me what you saw

It's what I'm craving

Please, bring me down, oh, Lord

I need to relax

Before my head comes off

Oh

One day

I'll hold my head high, put my shoulders back

Oh, then I'll get by, some way

I'll colour in these lines and scrub away the black

Oh, then I'll have the time to put forth

My piece of self-destruction, little bits of my ruptured

Life living undercover, run away

And leaving nothing behind, no need to waste more time

I'll be here waiting for you

What are you waiting for?

A purpose?

A bright light?

Or a wake-up call?

What do you take me for?

A service?

A safe fight?

Or a late-night call?

Oh

What are you waiting for?

Oh

What are you waiting for?
