What Are You Waiting For

Fm Static What Are You Waiting For Lyrics
1.Three Days Later

I made a wish on a shooting star once
but it's been so long
never did believe it
till you showed up there and proved me wrong
everyone is here and they're all cheering
with the end of another day
it's friday night, everyone's asleep
and now we're walking home
our shadows grow underneath the streetlights
still, they're overgrown
a perfect end to a perfect night
and I feel so alright

One, she makes me feel not-
Two, much like anything, that's-
Three, times more than I've ever felt before, and it's-
One a.m. and I'm-
Two sucked in, 'cuz it's-
Three, days later, I can't stop thinkin' about you

call lots of friends
and lets go down to the beach
bring your stereo
and all your favorite cds
we'll bring all out guitars
sit on top of our cars
and sing the night away just like rock stars
it's wide open, everyone scopin'
hopin' to have a night
where nothing gets broken
I'll will be leaving you tonight
oh I'll be leaving you tonight


Woah, oh, oh, oh


2.Crazy Mary

Crazy Mary is a slow girl who looks up to no one.
Would do anything for a cold one.
Wishes she could find her way home.
Got the look on her face and the stare of a ray gun.
We walked by everyday
and I wish there was something I could do for her.

Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd heal a little
if she wants to.
She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now.
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll laugh a little if she
needs to.
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind.

She watches the world pass her by like a freight train.
They all call her the same name.
Laughin' as they point and stare at her.
So she crys out to God up in Heaven,
been prayin since she was 11.
For Him to send someone to meet her there.

Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd heal a little
if she wants to.
She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now.
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll laugh a little if she
needs to.
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind.

And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams,
and the ideas she's got and contains inside.
She's broken apart
and her heart is still lookin for somewhere to feel alright.
And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams,
and the ideas she's got andcontains inside.
She's broken apart
and her heart is still lookin for somewhere to feel alright.

Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd heal a little
if she wants to.
She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now.
I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll laugh a little if she
needs to.
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind.


3.Something To Believe In

You've been trying to get me open
Caught out in the open
Everyone is hoping you'd give
Anything to take this
Everything that breaks this
Everyone is faceless
Give me
Something to believe in
Quick or else I'm leaving
Need a better reason
I know
Things get complicated
So miseducated
It's a wonder that made it

Situation
A little speculation
What are we facing
Too much complications
Looking for a name
In a new generation
A new focus
New destination

I don't wanna look
I just wanna find
Can you give me something to believe in
Keep your religion, don't need your lies
I'm just looking for one good reason
Feel like it's teenage hunting season
But nothing out there sounds half decent
Who's out there? who's going to save us
Before we all fall through the cracks in the pavement

You've been trying to get me open
Caught out in the open
Everyone is hoping
Give me
Something to believe in
Quick or else I'm leaving
Need a better reason
I know

I'm never gonna fall in line
So don't even bother wasting your time
I'm a breed of a different kind
Stand back just to invade your mind

Situation
Under speculation
What are we facing?
Too much complications
Looking for a name
In a new generation
A new focus
New destination

I don't wanna look
I just wanna find
Can you give me something to believe in
Keep your religion, don't need your lies
I'm just looking for one good reason
Feel like it's teenage hunting season
But nothing out there sounds half decent
Who's out there? who's going to save us
Before we all fall through the cracks in the pavement

And if you don't know what I'm talking about
It's probably better cause I'm working out
Don't wanna spend my lifetime figuring out
That I coulda just said one prayer

And if you know what I'm talking about
Then together were both working it out
Don't wanna spend my lifetime figuring out
I missed the point now it's over
I missed the point now it's over
I missed the point now it's over
I missed the point now it's over
I missed the point now it's over
I missed the point now it's over


4.Definitely Maybe

I met a girl named Tara
And she lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies,
Listened to Puff Daddy
And danced until her legs were sore.

She worked around a corner
At a diner with a grouchy owner
And her boyfriend Shady dates another girl named Katie,
He loves her definitely maybe

Don't think I can take it,
Wake me when it's over..
She lives so far away,
I wish that it was closer
I see you everyday,
I'm too scared to go over.
I wonder what she'd say,
I barely even know her

And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what she's doing
When I'm singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker,
So see ya later.
I wonder when you'll realize that she means
A lot more to me

I saw you in the hallway
When my last class was just over
It was Friday, school was out
Tonight, everything seems to be alright.
I said,
Yo, are you going to the party at the cove?
She said,
He's picking me up at 6 again,
and I don't wanna disappoint my boyfriend.

And she's staring at his picture hanging in her locker,
She's telling all the girls about all the things that he bought
her.
I saw what really happened all those time he went for water,
When we were at the movie theatre
Watching Harry Potter.
He had his hands on
Every single girl he laid his eyes on.
Hate to break it to ya,
He's a pylon.
And even when he kissed her,
He was looking over staring at her sister.


5.Donna

Oh Donna, won't ya pick me up tomorrow?
I need to get out of this place I'm in, and get my life in
order.
Although this world, just might fall apart,
I've got enough in my heart to get us started.
Come with me, oh, I'm beggin' you please, or
just say goodbye, cuz' this is the end of me.

Let's go far away from here, and not come back until the coast
is clear.
I'm fallin', thinkin' of you,
I count the days and all the funny things we do.
I'm so sorry, now you ignore me,
tried to explain, but it's such a long story.
Saw you in the lobby, now ya never call me,
you smiled, then pretended that you never saw me.


Doo-doo, doot-doo-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo


6.All The Days

This is the last day of our freshmen summer
text books n essays wait around the corner
saying goodby now to our best frieds
we'll try if we can to get home on the weekends

I gotta run now
go home and take a shower
we all can meet up
at your house in half an hour
I can't get ready any faster
we better make it quarter after

Runnin through the high school hallways
this is all we've known untill now
I don't evern wanna slow down
I'm packed, and I'm ready to go now
All the days we've been traveleing together
I won't even look over my shoulder
til I find a cure for getting older

Now we'll all split up and go our own ways
probably won't see each other the same ways
but no matter what happens
I'll never forget all the times we've had together


7.Hold Me Twice

I saw you in the hallway,
I bet thats what they all say,
You probably didn't even notice
I was the loser,
Who was staring at my shoes 'n', couldn't think of nothing to
say.
I'm on the runway,
Of a flight that's going one way,
On 'cross your finger' airlines.
I'm picking up the pace, no fronting,
getting nervous in the worst way, here goes nothing

I saw her walking over,
now that shes slowly moving closer,
wrote her a letter 'bout a week ago 'n', to my surprise
she replied and said:

You can hold me once, You can hold me twice,
even better if the stars are good tonight.
You can hold me, be my one and only,
this is the reply to the letter you wrote me.

You told me to meet you after gym class,
but I forgot to get a hall pass,
and got sent to the office.
You tried to call me,
asked everyone around who saw me,
they didn't even notice.
You're on your way now,
moving with your parents to some hick town,
a thousand miles away.
I'm in the playground,
with my memories, so much I could say now,
I still remember when.


It's been awhile since we said 'hi',
three hundred and sixty five days have gone by now,
and I could paint a picture of you.
I see you every time I pass your locker,
remember the time we talked till six a.m. and I'm tired of
missing you


8.The Notion

She knows that I'm waiting by the door.
I know that she's trying to cover up staring at the floor.

Let's go! Don't say maybe.
Forget everyone around let's together and get down.
I know it sounds crazy 1, 2, 3 times a lady

Oh no, I've got the notion.
Let's get together and start the commotion.
round and round 'til everyone stops
'til the next needle on the record player drops.

It's almost time to say our goodbyes and get home tonight.
Let's do it up one more time.
Show these people what we had in mind.


9.October

I used to draw you pictures
Back in grade school
You never could quite make them out
But you said you thought they were cool
We made a really good team
You and I and our acid washed jeans
Looking back it was all so great
Vaurnet, chip n pepper, and vanilla ice tapes

It's hard to get over
That she comes out in october
I wish someday I could show her
How things have changed
But now that were so much older
I don't even really know her
Maybe someday she'll come over and
We could hang

I saw you in
Cosmopolitan
And your hair was down
And everybody liked you
Remember way back when
Way back in grade seven
Cause your hair was down
And everybody liked you

You were a smart girl
Favorite day was earth day
Forget what those jerks say
I dug you in the worst way
No doubt
Cause you even went out and bought me
A boys in the hood soundtrack for my birthday

It's hard to get over
She comes out in october
Wish someday I could show her
Things have changed
But now that were so much older
I don't even really know her
Maybe someday she'll come over and
We can hang

We could hang, hang around
We could hang around
We could hang around
We could hang around

And we could all tell
That you would be something
And we could all tell
Stories to our friends
And we could all tell
It was now or nothing
And we could all tell
You'd never be back again


10.My First Stereo

Something tells me I'll never be close to another like you
helped me through the things that we all go through.
You make every song sound better,
taught me how to write a letter
I think everyone should get along like me and my first stereo

And you used to sing me to sleep
and always stood behind me

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
nothing can compete with my first stereo

Green light, outta my way
seems like just yesterday
that you played me my very first mix tape
Gave me the courage to say what I wanted to say
when it never comes out that way

oops, I'm in trouble again. should of listened to them
Back to my room and then we're safe now
Feels like when we were ten, in my room listening
To some Michael Jackson, relaxing

And you used to sing me to sleep
and always stood behind me
you saw me off when I had to go
my first true love was my first stereo

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
nothing can compete with my first stereo

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
nobody's perfect just like me
into the stereo is the place I go
I wonder what's playing next on the radio?

Something tells me I'll never be close to another like you
helped me through the things that we all go through.

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
nothing can compete with my first stereo

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
nobody's perfect just like me
into the stereo is the place I go
I wonder what's playing next on the radio?


11.Hey Now

I met you at the club that night
Where I was spinning records
And my heart said
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Yaaaow

You said you were pleased to meet me
Through the sweet smell of your perfume
And blew me
Away now
Way now
Way now
Way now
Yaaaow

Later on that week we went out,
Talked under the stars until the next
Day now
Day now
Day now
Day now
Yaaaow

You drank your fruitopia
And we never ran out of things to
Say now
Say now
Say now
Say now
Yaaow

Any minute im not with you
I hope I'll see you soon
There's just something that happens
When you walk into the room

And instantly I feel so complete
It hits me right about the time you kiss my cheek
And you give me this feeling
It's like no other feeling
But it knocks me off my feet

Please don't ask me what I like about you
Cause it's every little thing you do
And that's just the way you make me feel

And I don't think
That there are any others out there like you
And I wont blink cause that would mean
I'd miss a second beside you

And maybe you know what I mean
Or maybe this is just a dream
I pinch myself just to make sure
But I'm still here and there you are
I wonder why we just met now
It just kind of happened somehow
But here we are together and
That's all that matters in the end

And instantly I feel so complete
It hits me right about the time you kiss my cheek
And you give me this feeling
It's like no other feeling
But it knocks me off my feet

Please don't ask me what I like about you
Cause it's every little thing you do
And that's just the way you make me feel

You can never ask for too much
Cause I'd travel the world just to feel your touch
That's just the way you make me feel
