To be remembered for the warmth that you exude
To the stranger that's standing right next to you
We can be wonderful
We could be nothing at all
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Second by second, minute by minute)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Day by day, year by year)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Song after song after song after song)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Night after night)
To be remembered for the love that you share
To be remembered as the one who was always there
I have seen the worst in people
I have seen the best in people
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Second by second, minute by minute)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Day by day, year by year)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Song after song after song after song)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Night after night)
She's off doing cocaine in the bathroom
Anything to put off her impending doom
I walk in, implore her to look deeper
A model looks good, but your presence looked better
I used to do cocaine in the bathroom
(She only wants love when it's convenient to her
The last time I was happy, I wasn't aware)
Anything to put off my impending doom
(She only wants love when it's convenient to her
The last time I was happy, I wasn't aware)
Walk in, I implore you to dig deeper
(She only wants love when it's convenient to her
The last time I was happy, I wasn't aware)
A model looks good, but your presence looks better
(She only wants love when it's convenient to her
The last time I was happy, I wasn't aware)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Second by second, minute by minute)
What am I waiting for? This is the sound of me dying
(Song after song after song)
Bust it open, throw it all when all of us are grown
Find your purpose, you guessed the worst part, I know
The worst one less shown
Take it, take it, please [?] our way home
