Lyrics
No More Waiting
[Verse 1]
Morning light through a broken blind
Coffee getting cold while I'm losing time
So many plans that I left on a shelf
Waiting for tomorrow to become itself
[Pre-Chorus]
But the years don't stop
And the seasons don't care
They keep rolling on
Whether I'm ready or not
[Chorus]
No more waiting for the stars to align
No more living like I've got endless time
I've spent enough years standing on the side
Now I'm stepping into my own life
No more waiting for the perfect day
The perfect day keeps slipping away
If this moment's all that's really mine
No more waiting this time
[Verse 2]
I've watched chances drift like autumn leaves
Held too tightly to what I believed
But every road I never chose
Still whispers through the cracks and the shadows
No more waiting for the stars to align
No more living like I've got endless time
I've spent enough years standing on the side
Now I'm stepping into my own life
No more waiting for the perfect day
The perfect day keeps slipping away
If this moment's all that's really mine
No more waiting this time
[Bridge]
Maybe the dream was never lost
Maybe I was just afraid of the cost
Maybe the fire was always there
Waiting for me to breathe some air
[Final Chorus]
No more waiting for the stars to align
No more living like I've got endless time
The clock keeps turning and so do I
And I'm finally learning how to fly
No more waiting for the perfect day
The perfect day is here today
If this moment's all that's really mine
No more waiting this time
