Verse 1:

                
    Are you getting tired?
                   
    I think we’ve gone and lost the fire
                  
       But I don’t wanna fight anymore
                   
       I’ve had enough of this town

I can see the signs
And I can read between the lines
But I don’t know what we were fighting for
I’m just trying, to break out

Chorus:


   I’ve been waiting for something

    I’ve been sitting for too long

    I’ve been waiting but, oh, tonight
     
This one last try goes on and on and on (x2)

Verse 2:

You put your nets out 
But still you chose to do without
The only way to catch the butterfly
Is never waiting for the wings and

As seasons bring change 
And as the seconds fade away
I still don’t know why we were holding on
But I’m still trying to break out

Chorus:

I’ve been waiting for something
I’ve been sitting for too long
I’ve been waiting but, oh, tonight
This one last try goes on and on and on (x2)

Bridge:

         
    Should've known better than to listen
                
   When the dreams and the words started falling apart
               
    Should've known I would've hit the ground running

    

         
Did you think that the night would posses us?
                
Take us over like the rain that’s falling down?
          
Did you notice when the clock stopped running?
    
                Running
    
                Running
    
                Running



Verse 3:

This is the countdown
You see our time is running out
I tread to stay above the waterline 
but never taking off the weights that

Keep us stuck here
In the comfort, and the fear
I’ll never know what we were fighting for
but I’m still looking to break out

Chorus:

I’ve been waiting for something
I’ve been sitting for too long
I’ve been waiting but, oh, tonight
This one last try goes on and on and on (x2)
