"Waiting" lyrics

"Waiting"
(originally by Green Day)

I've been waitin' a long time
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all
Downtown, lights will be shinin'
On me, like a new diamond ring out
Under the midnight hour
Well, no one can touch me now, well
And I can't turn my back, it's too late
Ready or not at all

Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up

Dawning of a new era calling
Don't let it catch ya falling
Ready or not at all
Well, so close enough to taste it
Almost, I can embrace this feeling
On the tip of my tongue

Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up

(Better thank your lucky stars)

Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up

(Better thank your lucky stars)

I've been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all

Dumbstruck, color me stupid
Good luck, you're gonna need it
Where I'm going, if I get there at all
Wake up

Better thank your lucky stars
Better thank your lucky stars
