What are you waiting for?… Wua’ ‘ar yiu wueirin’ for?
What are you waiting for?… Wuarar yiu wueirin’ for?

Are you waiting on a lightning strike?
Are you waiting for the perfect night?
Are you waiting ‘til the time is right?
What are you waiting for?
Don’t you wanna learn to deal with fear?
Don’t you wanna take the wheel and steer?
Don’t you wait another minute here?
What are you waiting for?

You gotta go and reach for the top… Yiu gara go an’ rich for dee tap
Believe in every dream that you got… Biliv in evry drim dat yiu gat
You’re only living once so tell me… Yior only livin’ wuanz so tel mi
What are you, what are you waiting for?… Warar yiu, wuarar yiu wueirin’ for?
You know you gotta give it your all… Yiu nou yiu gara guivet yior ol
And don’t you be afraid if you fall… N’ don’ yiu bi afrei’ if yiu fol
You’re only living once so tell me
What are you, what are you waiting for?

Are you waiting for the right excuse?
Are you waiting for a sign to choose?
While you’re waiting it’s the time you lose
What are you waiting for?
Don’t you wanna spread your wings and fly?
Don’t you really wanna live your life?
Don’t you wanna love before you die?
What are you waiting for?

You gotta go and reach for the top
Believe in every dream that you got
You’re only living once so tell me
What are you, what are you waiting for?
You know you gotta give it your all
And don’t you be afraid if you fall
You’re only living once so tell me
What are you, what are you waiting for?

[2x]
Tell me what you’re waiting for… Tel mi wuat shio’ wueirin’ for
Show me what you’re aiming for… Shou mi wuat shio’ eimin’ for
Whatcha going to save it for?… Wuatcha goin’ tu seivet for?
So whatcha really waiting for?… So wuatcha rily wueirin’ for?
Everybody’s gonna make mistakes
But everybody’s got a choice to make
Everybody needs a leap of faith
When are you taking yours?

What are you waiting for?

You gotta go and reach for the top
Believe in every dream that you got
You’re only living once so tell me
What are you, what are you waiting for?
You know you gotta give it your all
And don’t you be afraid if you fall
You’re only living once so tell me
What are you, what are you waiting for?

You gotta go and reach for the top
What are you, what are you waiting for?
Believe in every dream that you got
What are you, what are you waiting for?
You know you gotta give it your all
What are you, what are you waiting for?
You’re only living once so tell me
What are you, what are you waiting for?

What are you, what are you?… Wuara’ yiu, wuara’ yiu?
What are you, what are you waiting for?
What are you, what are you?
What are you, what are you waiting for?
