Before You get a chance to Crun
'Cause even when You're Dmliving through the worst
You Fknow the best is yet to come

Higher walls to climb, that's just Flife
Light and shade, night and day

Holding on, sometimes We're just holding on

It's like We're hanging from a single thread

That's just about to come undone

But We carry on, oh yeah We carry on

You know You gotta learn to fall

Before You get a chance to run

'Cause even when You're living through the worst

You know the best is yet to come

Give Me stormy skies, give Me -

Higher walls to climb, that's just life

Light and shade, night and day

I'm not gonna break, yeah I'm playing the waiting game

When the seas get rough, and You

You think You've had enough of it all

Let's go again, ride the hurricane

We're not gonna break, yeah We're playing the waiting game

Here and now, let's not worry about tomorrow

Oh, let's stay here in the moment

And reach out and hold it, no coming down

'Cause even when You're living through the worst

You know the best is yet to come

Give me stormy skies, Give Me

Higher walls to climb, that's just life

Light and shade, night and day

I'm not gonna break, yeah I'm playing the waiting game

When the seas get rough And You

You think You've had enough of it all

Let's go again, ride the hurricane

We're not gonna break, yeah We're playing the waiting game

Someday all of this will be Ours (Oh..oh..Oh..oh)

(Yeah We're just playing the waiting game)

Someday all of this will be Ours (Oh..oh..Oh..oh)

- Yeah We're just playing the waiting game

Give me stormy skies, Give Me

Higher walls to climb, that's just life

Light and shade, night and day

I'm not gonna break, yeah I'm playing the waiting game

When the seas get rough And You

You think You've had enough of it all

Let's go again, ride the hurricane

We're not gonna break, yeah We're playing the waiting game

Someday all of this will be Ours, Ooh yeah yeah

Someday all of this will be Ours -

We're not gonna break, yeah We're playing the waiting game
