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
