Lyrics

Waiting

[Verse 1]

I'm waiting for something to come through

I'm hoping I can write a real sweet tune

No passion, no warmth in these words

I'm trying, but have nothing to offer

[Chorus]

I'm waiting with nothing to do

I'm waiting, just a-waiting on you

[Verse 2]

Sadly, just like before

It's lifeless and soulless

And yeah, I fall way short

No beauty, no sweet melody

No four-part barbershop harmony

[Chorus]

I'm waiting with nothing to do

I'm waiting, just a-waiting on you

[Bridge]

I'm waiting on you

I'm waiting on you, you

[Chorus]

I'm waiting with nothing to do

I'm waiting, just a-waiting on you

[Outro]

Waiting on you, ooh

Waiting on you, ooh

Waiting on you, ooh

Waiting on you, ooh

Waiting on you, ooh

Waiting on you, ooh
