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
