Lyrics Emmelie de Forest

Emmelie de Forest

What Are You Waiting For

The sidewalk is empty

We’re standing all alone here

The street light casts a glow on your face

I wish I was so much braver

Maybe if you were braver too

This would all be up to you

What are you waiting for?

Why don’t you move in closer?

What are you waiting for?

Don’t leave me standing on my own

You’re making me insecure

Prove me wrong and win me over

What are you waiting for?

It’s raining

I’m aching for you as my shelter

Take me in and keep me safe

I guess I want you ’cause I can’t have you

Who decided all these rules

When it’s only up to you?

What are you waiting for?

Why don’t you move in closer?

What are you waiting for?

Don’t leave me standing on my own

You’re making me insecure

Prove me wrong and win me over

What are you waiting for?

Here I go again

This is where I stand, yeah

There is nothing you can lose

What are you waiting for?

Why don’t you move in closer?

What are you waiting for?

Don’t leave me standing on my own

You’re making me insecure

Prove me wrong and win me over

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Why don’t you move in closer?

What are you waiting for?

Don’t leave me standing on my own

You’re making me insecure

Prove me wrong and win me over

What are you waiting for?

It’s raining

I’m aching for you as my shelter

Take me in and keep me safe
