What are you waiting for? x2 
Are you waiting on a lightening strike 
Are you waiting for the perfect night 
Are you waiting till the time is right? 
What are you waiting for 
Don't you wanna learn to deal with fear 
Don't you wanna take the wheel and steer 
Don't you wait another minute here 
What are you waiting for? 

You gotta go and reach for the top 
Believe in every dream that you got 
You only living one so tell me? 
What are you, what are you waiting for? 
You know you gotta give it your all 
And don't you be afraid if you fall 
You only living one so tell me? 
What are you, what are you waiting for? 

Are you waiting for the right excuse? 
Are you waiting for a sign to choose 
While your waiting it's the time you lose 
What are you waiting for? 
Don't you wanna spread your wings and fly? 
Don't you wanna really live your life? 
Don't you wanna love before you die? 
What are you waiting for? 

You gotta go and reach for the top 
Believe in every dream that you got 
You only living one so tell me? 
What are you, what are you waiting for? 
You know you gotta give it your all 
And don't you be afraid if you fall 
You only living one so tell me? 
What are you, what are you waiting for? 

Tell me what your waiting for 
Show me what your aiming for 
What you gonna save it for? 
So what you really waiting for? 

Tell me what your waiting for 
Show me what your aiming for 
What you gonna save it for? 
So what you really waiting for? 
Everybody's gonna make mistakes 
but everybody's got a choice to make 
Everybody needs a leap of faith 
When are you taking yours? 

You gotta go and reach for the top 
Believe in every dream that you got 
You only living one so tell me?
