What Are You Waiting For

[Verse 1]
Mother, loaned the car to me
I'll pick you up if you are free
We'll drive for miles, we'll drive across town
We'll drive with all the windows down

[Pre-Chorus]
The hours pass like the wheels go 'round
And there's no time, no time like right now

[Chorus]
So, if you'd like to, I dare you
Give the slip to your parents
I would like to get to know you
What are we waiting for?

[Verse 2]
The view from off your balcony
It's lights as far as we can see
I'll take you down your deep dark street
And we'll glow inside of our city

[Pre-Chorus]
Your heart is fire and mine is cold
When we're together, it's rock and roll

[Chorus]
So, if you'd like to, I dare you
Give the slip to your parents
I would like to get to know you
What are you waiting for?

[Post-Chorus]
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?

[Pre-Chorus]
They pave these streets for you and me
Beyond each little turn, we take away a different destiny

[Chorus]
So, if you'd like to, I dare you
Give the slip to your parents
I would like to get to know you
What are we waiting for?
So, if you'd like to get closer
I'm seconds from calling it all off
If you'd like to sing this song
Oh, well, meet me at your back door

[Post-Chorus]
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
