I was my whole life waiting
Well, it’s you and me, just like it always was
You light another
Why? Just because

Feels like we’ve always been in this parking lot
We’re down, so down, but we sure do laugh a lot
We were our whole lives waiting

Back in school they used to give you hell
Because of what you thought and how you felt
But look around, they can’t hurt you no more
Why are you holding to that for?

Don’t you know who you are?
You are the only star
In the night sky
When it’s getting dark
That’s who you are

This is a world of trouble, this is a world of struggle
This is a life of patience, this is a life of waiting
And it’s too short to tie your hands behind your back
It’s too short to do these things that feel so bad
Some might say it’s too short to wait for you
But who knows just why we do these things we do

Turn the radio on
Something slow and nice
I can tell a joke and you can roll your eyes
And maybe this was the sweetest time of all
Maybe this was what I was waiting for

Don’t you know who you are?
