* You’ll never enjoy your life

Living inside the box

You’re so afraid of taking chances

How’re you gonna reach the top? *

Rules and regulations

Force you to play it safe

Get rid of all the hesitation

It’s time for you to seize the day

** Instead of just sitting around

And looking down on tomorrow

You gotta let your feet off the ground

The time is now **

*** I’m waiting (waiting), waiting (waiting)Just waiting (just waiting)

I’m waiting, waiting outside the lines

Waiting outside the lines

Waiting outside the lines ***

Try to have no regrets

Even if it’s just tonight

How you gonna walk ahead?

If you keep living blind

Stuck in that same position

You deserve so much more

There’s a whole world around us

Just waiting to be explored

Repeat **

Just let it go

Don’t wanna have to force you to smile

I’m here to help you notice the rainbow’Cause I know

What’s in you is out there

Repeat ***

I’m trying to be patient (I’m trying to be patient)

The first step is the hardest (the hardest)

I know you can make it

Go ahead and take it

I’m waiting, waiting

Just waiting

I’m waiting

Repeat ***

Repeat *
