What Are We Waiting For?
Ally Brooke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was about to leave (ah, ah, ah)
You came out of nowhere (ah, ah, ah)
With possibilities
Turning nothing into something
Oh, I like where this is going
I can feel it, feel it coming
How did we get this close?
Wonder how far we go
Losing all self-control
What are we waiting for?
Dancing until they close
Hold me and don't let go
Don't wanna leave alone
What are we waiting for?
Keeping me distracted (ah, ah, ah)
Keep my mind at ease, mm (ah, ah, ah)
Middle of this madness (ah, ah, ah)
You're focusing on me, oh
Turning nothing into something
Oh, I like where this is going
I can feel it, feel it coming
I do, baby, do you? Oh
How did we get this close?
Wonder how far we go (ah, ah)
Losing all self-control (ah, ah)
What are we waiting for?
Dancing until they close
Hold me and don't let go
Don't wanna leave alone
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
I dunno how we got this close
I'm losing all my self-control
Hold on me tight and don't let go
Hold on me tight and don't let go (holdin' me tight)
I don't know how we got this close (ow)
I'm losing all my self-control
Hold on me tight and don't let go
What are we waiting for?
How did we get this close?
Wonder how far we go (oh)
Losing all self-control
What are we waiting for?
Dancing until they close
Hold me and don't let go
Don't wanna leave alone
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Waiting for?
Ally Brooke's "What Are We Waiting For" is a vibrant and catchy song that captures the excitement of unexpected love. The opening lines indicate that she was ready to leave the scene but the meeting of her love interest makes her change her mind. The encounter is full of possibilities, and Ally describes the connection as turning "nothing into something." She is excited to see where it takes them and can sense that they are both feeling the same way. The chorus emphasizes the idea that they shouldn't hold back and instead act on their feelings, which they confess to each other.
The bridge sees Ally becoming more frantic as she loses her self-control in the moment, urging her lover to hold her tight and never let go. The interplay between the verses and the chorus is what makes "What Are We Waiting For" such a great song, as the chorus is the thesis of the song and the verses offer evidence through Ally's narration of the excitement of the moment. Therefore, the song is a call to action to seize the moment and act on one’s feelings when the opportunity arises.
