You'll never enjoy your life, Living inside the box You're so afraid of taking chances, How you gonna reach the top? Rules and regulations, Force you to play it safe Get rid of all the hesitation, It's time for you to seize the day Instead of just sitting around And looking down on tomorrow You gotta let your feet off the ground, The time is now I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting, I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines Waiting outside the lines Waiting outside the lines Try to have no regrets Even if it's just tonight How you gonna walk ahead If you keep living blind Stuck in my same position, You deserve so much more There's a whole world around us, Just waiting to be explored Instead of just sitting around And looking down on tomorrow You gotta let your feet off the ground, The time is now, just let it go Don't wanna have to force you to smile I'm here to help you notice the rainbow 'Cause I know, What's in you is out there I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting, I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines Waiting outside the lines Waiting outside the lines I'm trying to be patient (I'm trying to be patient) The first step is the hardest (the hardest) I know you can make it, Go ahead and take it I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting, I'm waiting I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines Waiting outside the lines Waiting outside the lines You'll never enjoy your life Living inside the box You're so afraid of taking chances, How you gonna reach the top?
