  • You'll never enjoy your life,
    Living inside the box
    You're so afraid of taking chances,
    How you gonna reach the top?

    Rules and regulations,
    Force you to play it safe
    Get rid of all the hesitation,
    It's time for you to seize the day

    Instead of just sitting around
    And looking down on tomorrow
    You gotta let your feet off the ground,
    The time is now

    I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting,
    I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
    Waiting outside the lines
    Waiting outside the lines

    Try to have no regrets
    Even if it's just tonight
    How you gonna walk ahead
    If you keep living blind

    Stuck in my same position,
    You deserve so much more
    There's a whole world around us,
    Just waiting to be explored

    Instead of just sitting around
    And looking down on tomorrow

    You gotta let your feet off the ground,
    The time is now, just let it go

    Don't wanna have to force you to smile
    I'm here to help you notice the rainbow
    'Cause I know,
    What's in you is out there

    I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting,
    I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
    Waiting outside the lines
    Waiting outside the lines

    I'm trying to be patient (I'm trying to be patient)
    The first step is the hardest (the hardest)
    I know you can make it,
    Go ahead and take it

    I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting, I'm waiting
    I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting
    I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
    Waiting outside the lines
    Waiting outside the lines

    You'll never enjoy your life
    Living inside the box
    You're so afraid of taking chances,
    How you gonna reach the top? Writer/s: Aaron Michael Cox, Eric Bellinger, Ernest Clark, Greyson Chance, Marcos Palacios
