[Verse 1]

Are you getting tired?

I think we've gone and lost the fire

But I don't want to fight anymore

I've had enough of this town

I can see the signs

And I can read between the lines

But I don't know what we were fighting for

I'm just trying to break out

[Chorus]

I've been waiting for something

I've been sitting for too long

I've been waiting, but oh, tonight

This one last try goes on and on and on

I've been waiting for something

I've been sitting for too long

I've been waiting, but oh, tonight

This one last try goes on and on and on

[Verse 2]

You put your nets out

But still you chose to do without

The only way to catch the butterfly

Is never waiting for the wings and

As seasons bring change

And as the seconds fade away

I still don’t know why we were holding on

But I’m still trying to break out

[Chorus]

I've been waiting for something

I've been sitting for too long

I've been waiting, but oh, tonight

This one last try goes on and on and on

I've been waiting for something

I've been sitting for too long

I've been waiting, but oh, tonight

This one last try goes on and on and on

[Bridge]

Should have known better than to listen

When the dreams and the words started falling apart

I should have known

Would have hit the ground running

Did you think that night would possess us?

Take us over like the rain that's falling down?

Did you notice when the clock stopped running, running, running, running?

[Verse 3]

This is the countdown

You see, our time is running out

I tried to stay above the water line

But never taking off the weights that

Keep us stuck here

In the comfort and the fear

I'll never know what we were fighting for

But I'm still looking to break out

[Chorus]

I've been waiting for something

I've been sitting for too long

I've been waiting, but oh, tonight

This one last try goes on and on and on

I've been waiting for something

I've been sitting for too long

I've been waiting, but oh, tonight

This one last try goes on and on and on
