"What Are You Waiting For?" lyrics

"What Are You Waiting For?"

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
We’re alive, we’re alive,
What are you waiting for?

I think I’m going broke, from paying my dues,
I’ve been tossed and turned, left black and blue.
I’ve been faced with decisions where I have to choose,
It's either one you win, one you lose,
These times will get you so damn mad,
You’ve 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’ve 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.
Now, stop at nothing, no matter the cost of it,
A thousand loves, a thousand loves,
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 when I finally look back,
I’ll think, Oh my god,
What a life I’ve had.

They said there’s heaven if you wait,
But I think I’m living right through it,
Oh you wanna live forever huh?
Well then just do it.

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
We’re alive, we’re alive,
What are you waiting for?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
We’re alive, we’re alive,
What are you waiting for?

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’m gonna live my life by my mom’s little advice, she said,
You love it, embrace it,
You want it, then chase it.

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
We’re alive, we’re alive,
What are you waiting for?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
We’re alive, we’re alive,
What are you waiting for?

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
We’re alive, we’re alive,
What are you waiting for?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
We’re alive, we’re alive,
What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?
