Lyrics
The Waiting Room (James Ferris, 2018)
It’d be easier
To let it go
But you keep hanging on because you never know
You keep hanging on
To what could be
Because you never know
Where it could lead
You’ve got no reason to believe
That change will change your circumstance
You hesitate too long until the opportunity has passed,
Gone and missed your chance
The days go by,
Turn into years
And your childhood dreams are now your fears
The choice to stay or go
It's always yours
Hey, the couch is free,
So is the door
Stuck in this waiting room
Debating whether you should stay or go
Is it really all that bad
Besides sometimes it’s better not to know,
The devil you know
Musical Solo
Stuck in this waiting room
Debating whether you should stay or go
Is it really all that bad
Besides sometimes it’s better not to know,
The devil you know
Music out.
