I'm Just Waiting

from Beam Me Up, Scotty! by Liz McBride!

lyrics

I've run out of lines, run out of time, run out of ways to show you I'm fine
I've run out of leads, I'm walking on leaves, I'm trotting on eggshells, my stomach's in knots
I get sick lying awake at night
To make things right is not my only goal

I've looked at my life and realized that everything will start to function in time
I've made it my turn to not only learn that what you say can be nothing but lies, complete with half truths
That's not the way we should spend our youth

In making amends, I lost a friend. How can this idea even make sense?!
But with this one fact, I've learned how to act out in a way that promotes world good
Even when others take the piss, I guess that's the way it is...

I'm just waiting.
I'm just waiting on you!
I'm just waiting.
