Waiting for the Sunshine

Waiting for the sunshine × 4
Yeah
I got a chip on my shoulder
As I’m getting older
You better kill me to take my last breath
I fucking love being sober, I’m not a drinker
That’s not what my dad said
So sit on the edge, I’ll be back again
It’s all for my lonely conscience
Grow like a flower
Die like a weed
I’m getting stressed out
A little bit broken
People get called out for shit they don’t mean
So cry me a river, overdose my medication
We can cry as we take our last breaths


Waiting for the sunshine
Getting up at sunrise
Someone just take my breath away
I thought I had it taken but it was placed back in my lungs again
Waiting for the sunshine
Getting up at sunrise
I don’t wanna lose myself again
Waiting for the sunshine
Getting up at sunrise
Tell my doctor that I just need a friend


So I got more chips on my shoulder
As I’m getting older
Please don’t let me force my last breath
I’m getting bolder
More chance for rejection
Just fucking keep me sober now
Society getting messed up
People need to rest up
Save me from this life of hell and judgement
Because I’m getting stressed out, I’m fucking broken
What happen to the times that shit was lasting


Waiting for the sunshine again (been up all night)
Getting up at sunrise (no sleep)
Someone just took my breath away
I knew that it was taken but I was wasted
It’s not so complicated, love is underrated
So imma make this statement for all to tell...


I had a chip on my shoulder
I’ve grown older
Soon I will take my last breath
Love is not overrated, love is this statement
It hurts but it can bring out the best in you
So once again I’ve been sober
Forever I told her
Before she took her last breath
So baby I’m feeling fucked up and I’m feeling messed up
But I don’t wanna make that mistake again


So now I’m sitting in the sunshine
Been up since sunrise
I’ll see you after I take my last breath
Feeling the burns of the sunshine
Cause I’ve been out since sunrise
I don’t wanna die without feeling like... I lived

Author's Note
Wrote these lyrics as a 3 way perspective of a young person that feels optimistic about life slowly turning into a middle aged or young man struggling with demons.. Just to lead into the end of learning lessons about life and growing. I’m imagining it as like a rock / punk rock kind of song.
