Lyrics

Can't Wait Forever

Shake your body now
Shake your body now

Broken promises, waited all this time to lie
I can make it out with all this comfort in my mind

You know that I, I can't keep waiting forever
You know that I, I can't keep waiting forever
Can't keep waiting forever
Can't keep waiting forever
Forever, forever, forever

Shake your body now
Shake your body now

Here I am again, watching chances pass me by
Scared of tripping up, maybe I set the bar too high

You know that I, I can't keep waiting forever
You know that I, I can't keep waiting forever

Shake your body now
Shake your body now

Now is not the time to be waiting on the side
Or question if it's wrong or right
Perfect wind is risin'
And I hold my head up high
And see beyond the whirlwind as the men inspire the gods
In a world that waits in silence
Maybe I need to realize, I need to realize
I can't keep waiting forever, forever

Shake your body now
Shake your body now
Shake your body now
I can't keep waiting forever (Shake your body now)
I can't keep waiting forever
