Waiting Outside the Lines
Greyson Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances,
How 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, 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 my same position,
You deserve so much more
There's a whole world around us,
Just waiting to be explored
Instead of just sitting around
And looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
The time is now, 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
I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
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
I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
You'll never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?
