What are you waiting for Wearing out the shore Under bloodshot skies And a pair of rolling eyes says that you've been here before A thousand times or more Drowning in your lack of tears And now the coast is clear A ship is safe at port But that's not what ships are for And I'm waiting, yes I'm waiting Won't you please make up your mind? What are you waiting for Staring at the door It's time to go outside Are you satisfied with pacing the floor? A prisoner of the war Between your heart and mine Until you come to find That a ship is safe at port But that's not what ships are for And I'm waiting, oh still waiting Won't you please make up your mind? So what's it gonna' be? You're alone and you are free But freedom's more than knowing how to sail Come to me You'll be fine I am here And it is time A ship is safe at port But that's not what ships are for And I'm waiting, yes still waiting Won't you please make up your mind? What are you waiting for Wearing out the shore Under bloodshot skies Salt water in your eyes says that you've been here before A thousand times or more Hoping that the sky will split If you sit here long enough
