The Waiting

I close my eyes, I take a breath 

Man, I think I’m bored to death

Waiting for the next distraction

It’s been a long and painful road

And I may still have miles to go

Before I find some satisfaction

But in the waiting I have found

I got my feet on solid ground

I know what I want, no hesitating

In the waiting, I can see 

There’s a different side of me

I never would’ve found until the waiting

Some days I sit here and I dream

About what’s waiting there for me

Some kind of love that’s undiscovered

I’ve been to hell and back again

I feel like I can never win

If it’s not one thing, it’s another

But in the waiting I have found

I got my feet on solid ground

I know what I want, no hesitating

In the waiting, I can see 

There’s a different side of me

I never would’ve found until the waiting

I have never liked this part 

I like to know what's around the bend

It's driving me half insane

I wanna know how the story ends...

But in the waiting I have found

I got my feet on solid ground

I know what I want, no hesitating

In the waiting, I can see 

There’s a different side of me

I never would’ve found until the waiting

I wrote this song almost 2 years ago, and I was sitting back and looking at what I had written, I had to re-write the bridge. At the time, I was frustrated at being single, and I really wanted to move on to the next chapter in my life. A lot of life has gone by since then, and I have learned a few life lessons. I now know that it's okay to be in "...the waiting." There's a lot of growing and maturing that can only come through having lived - both through good times and bad. (Edited on May 23rd, 2012)
