[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for the day when my father come around
Waiting for that moment when we would paint the town but
Then it all hit me last night, nobody's coming
I've been waiting for that moment when my heart heals
Waiting for someone to take away the pain that I feel
Then it all hit me last night, nobody's coming

[Pre-Chorus]
But why should I dwell on the things I can't change? (Things I can't change)
What if I'm the answer for things that I've prayed? (Things that I've prayed)
All I know is

[Chorus]
If nothing changes before I'm gone
I got no one else I could blame it on
And we been waiting way too long
What if we're the ones that we're waiting on? (What you waitin' for?)

[Verse 2]
I've been waiting on peace, but I just bought a piece
One under the bed and one under the seat
I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but it helps me sleep (Helps me sleep)
I've been waiting for the day when the cops don't shoot
When they feel safe enough not to wear them bulletproofs
I don't know who is right or wrong, but I sure can't sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
But why should I dwell on the things I can't change? (Things I can't change)
What if I'm the answer for things that I've prayed? (Things that I've prayed)
All I know is

[Chorus]
If nothing changes before I'm gone
I got no one else I could blame it on
And we been waiting way too long
What if we're the ones that we're waiting on? (What you waitin' for?)
If nothing changes before I'm gone
I got no one else I could blame it on
And we've been waiting way too long
What if we're the ones that we're waiting on?

[Bridge]
I might just have to be, what I never had for me
I might just have to be, what I never had for me
I might just have to be, what I never had for me
I might just have to be, what I never had for me (Oh, oh)

[Outro]
Andy, don't forget me
