Lyrics Missy Higgins

Missy Higgins

Everyone's Waiting

I know all the lines to say

The part I'm expected to play

But in the reflection I am worlds away

As I put my costume on

Eyelashes one by one

Been doing this so long I can tie the knot

Behind my back

And everyone's waiting

But it's getting harder to hear what my heart is saying

Cos everyone's waiting

Just swallow and breathe, she says

Remember this ain't for you it's for them

And all of those painful lessons you've had to learn

You gotta use them now or never

Cos everyone's waiting

But it's getting harder to hear

What my heart keeps saying

Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off

When everyone's waiting

It makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying

Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off

But everyone's waiting

I hear that answers appear when you just stand still

But make it all, how do you make it all stop

When everyone's waiting?
