Waiting

by Billie Joe Armstrong


I've been, waiting a long time
for this, moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all
Downtown, lights will be shining
On me, like a new diamond ring
out, under the midnight hour


well, no one can touch me now well
and I, can't turn my back
it's too late ready or not at all
Well, I'm so much closer than,
I have ever known... wake up


Dawning, of a new era
calling, don't let it catch you falling
ready or not at all
Well, so close
enough to taste it
almost, I can embrace this feeling
on the tip of my tongue
well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
wake up


Better thank your lucky stars
say hey hey


Well, I'm so much closer than, I have ever known.
Wake up


Better thank your lucky stars
say hey hey


I've been, waiting a lifetime
for this
moment to come I'm destined
for anything at all


dumbstruck, colour me stupid
good luck, you're gonna need it
where I'm
going if I get there at all
wake up


better thank your lucky stars
