LYRICS

"only a year to go" he says, until he graduates
seventeen years buried in books-over and done in may
starting over with nothing now he looks towards better times
climb that ladder and grab a raise, and that's when he'll be fine

so he's got money now but his job, it just can't make him whole
he needs a wife, he needs some kids to fill that yearning soul
but the kids start screamin' there's bills to pay, and no time with just the wife
when the kids are grown and on thier own, that's when they'll start their lives

waiting for the next step now, you wait for your next life
wait until you make a change, you wait 'till its just right
just enjoy the journey 'cause it's life that's in between
stand up and follow your dreams
you've lived your whole life now, you've played the waiting game
opportunity passes by, don't think it never came
don't think it never came

"where the hell did my life go?" he breathes it with a sigh
all those things he said he needs, but life was never right
gray-haired, wealthy, home, wife, kids, well now he can retire
he can live that life he's always dreamed, but now he's just too old and tired

so what's your deal? you sit and wait, for what tho? hey you're wasting time
the years tick by you miss your prime, you wallow deep inside your lies
life's too short be happy now, be more, the clock cannot be tamed
no souls emerge on top when you play the waiting game

you're waiting for the next step now, you wait for your next life
wait until you make a change, you wait 'till its just right
just enjoy the journey 'cause it's life that's in between
stand up and follow your dreams
you've lived your whole life now, you've played the waiting game
opportunity passed you by, don't think it never came
don't think it never came
don't think it never came
your whole life passed you by, you played the waiting game
