I wrote this after deciding to stop waiting for something that wasn't sure of ever happening. It's important to survive, and it's more important to live. Waiting is a big part of life and we really need to learn how to not only be okay with it, but to not depend on time. We can't change time but we can change ourselves and how we feel. Life will involve a lot of waiting, but just remember that so long as you keep going and keep making the best of everything, you'll make it in no time. This is for ThatPoppy.
"Waiting to be Written"
Verse
Photographs and moving pictures
They don't / know how to make it worth seeing
In real life
Ocean waves and sand mixtures
They know / just how to make it worth feeling
In real time
All the obstacles and sand castles
They build you up to let you go
I wait each day for some good news to know
Chorus
It's all waiting to be written
On a page that I've been missin'
Though I'll live another day to write it down
It's a life I've yet to live in
All this time I never listened
To the signs that were never there to be found
Through all of the noise and all the nonsense
I will find my voice and conscience
I will find / something worth finding out
So I guess I'll just have to wait / to write it down
Verse
A big world and a little girl
She don't / know how to make the best of things
Big dreams and little plans
She knows / not how to, but how it'd be worth everything
All the obstacles and sand castles
They build you up to let you know
That one day there'll be good news down the road
Chorus
It's all waiting to be written
On a page that I've been missin'
Though I'll live another day to write it down
It's a life I've yet to live in
All this time I never listened
To the signs that were never there to be found
Through all of the noise and all the nonsense
I will find my voice and conscience
I will find / something worth finding out
So I guess I'll just have to wait / to write it down
*I'll have to wait / to write it down
*3x
Bridge
Time is like the sand
Life is like the sea
Time will pass through our hands
And life will pass through our feet
Chorus
It's all waiting to be written
On a page that I've been missin'
Though I'll live another day to write it down
It's a life I've yet to live in
All this time I never listened
To the signs that were never there to be found
Through all of the noise and all the nonsense
I will find my voice and conscience
I will find good news worth writing down
I'll wait to find that out.
