WAITING
Verse 1
I’ve been working in a restaurant since I can remember
It was never something that I wanted, it’s just what I do, it’s just what I do
Waiting tables serving French cuisine, I imagine the Eiffel Tower
I’m living in a field of dreams, my own field of flowers
CHORUS
TO SURVIVE I’VE DONE SOME THINGS I’M NOT THAT PROUD OF
TO STAY ALIVE I’VE SACRIFICED WHAT MY HEART SCREAMS OUT OF MY DREAMS
CUZ I WAS AFRAID
Verse 2
Enchiladas and taco supreme, too many margarita nights swallowed up my dreams
Pizza, pasta, midnight moon beams, Ciao Bella
But it’s been good to me, I’ve made a living since I left home at 17
I stay within my means, I go on and on and on waiting
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You signaled me for water, where’s my milk? I’ll bring the cow
Anticipate your every need and keep on smiling
I wanted to do big things, I decided it’s a big thing,
Whatever work I do, to do it kindly
CHORUS, outro
this is the right one…..wondering about the bridge….if its even necessary…..I wanted to use it for clarification and a break out….could be totally duh
