What Are You Waiting For? 

oh, I was like a rag underwater
in a white-washed river, hiding a bed of gold
my heart sunk and heavy and drowning in the soil

you came on like a wildfire
warming me up to a lie
oh, I must have been blind
to think you were mine

what are you waiting for?
come dance with us, we’re burning
what are you waiting for?
we’ll be gone by the morning
what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?

for a night, we’re the envy of the Perseids
the world counts the days until their light
but we burn so bright
make no promises to time

what are you waiting for?
come dance with us, we’re burning
what are you waiting for?
we’ll be gone by the morning
what are you waiting for?

you’re gone by the morning
must be making love to your man
feel used as I’ve ever been
you’ve got some nerve to make me be the other man

what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?

what are you waiting for?
come dance with us, we’re burning
what are you waiting for?
we’ll be gone by the morning
what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?
