What Are We Waiting For?

What Are We Waiting For.mp3

Crappy days have this one major benefit: sweet creative tension.

It may not be my best song (falsetto soul singer songs) but it came out pretty complete, the chorus first, then a verse, then a not-so-horrible bridge. If I stole it openly from any song you can think of, let me know. It's nagging in the back of my mind...

What Are We Waiting For?
by Steven Wesley Guiles

Was it something I said? Was it something I did?
Well let me take it back.

Was it something I lost? Was it something I hid?
Well let me give it back

What are you waiting for? What are we waiting for?
Get your feet up off the floor?
What am I waiting for? What were we waiting for?
Get on up through the door

Did I leave you in pain, child?
Did I wipe out your sweet smile?
Well that's why I've come back

Here take another tissue
I think I'm gonna need some too
Let's have ourselves a good cry here and now

What are you waiting for? What are we waiting for?
Get your feet up off the floor?
What am I waiting for? What were we waiting for?
Get on up through the door

No, I never thought I'd see your face again
Now I'm comin' around back from where I've been

No, I never thought I'd see your face again
Now I'm comin' around back from where I've been
