What can I do I'm at the door
I've tried turning back there's no point in that now
What should I say, what should I do
Should I fix my hair oh why am I scared now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why Are You Waiting?
Why Are You Waiting?
Why Are You Waiting?
What if I fail (you won't fail)
Why Are You Waiting?
What if I fail (you won't fail, you won't fail)
Look at me stand outside the door
Like a frightened child with a nervous smile see
What should I do, what should I say
Should I speak at all
I am much too small now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why Are You Waiting?
Why Are You Waiting?
Why Are You Waiting?
What if I fail (you won't fail)
Why Are You Waiting?
What if I fail (you won't fail)
Why Are You Waiting?
What if I fail (you won't fail, you won't fail, you won't fail)
