WAIT Holdup (wait) I been waiting for a wave I been waiting for a wave I been waiting for a wave I been waiting for a wave I been waiting for a wave but lately it's been smooth sailing Put my boogie board away soon it be a new occasion I been waiting for a wave It's been a while since I heard you say "hey" I see you got a new chain I'm looking in your eyes I see you got some pain I see that greed inside that need to make it rain What about other people do you mean to make some change I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) Ok I'm waiting on the world to change I'm John Mayer Long hair & guitar player I'm John Mayer Online I'm psychoanalyzing everybody right from my armchair Armageddon when the hard medicine settling in in my apartment setting Credit card, bet I charge it heavy Always Chasing I'm never attracting That shit so unattractive Bending it backwards Just to get minimal fractions I'm addicted to acrobatics Exaggerate my practicing Turn around preach the actual shit But the see the secret ain't in preaching it's in practicing And I'm an asshole for thinking that's impractical Wonder how far my ass will go Just out here waiting for the wave I been waiting for a wave but lately it's been smooth sailing Put my boogie board away soon it be a new occasion I been waiting for a wave It's been a while since I heard you say "hey" I see you got a new chain I'm looking in your eyes I see you got some pain I see that greed inside that need to make it rain What about other people do you mean to make some change I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) I guess you waiting on the wave (I guess I'm waiting on the wave) I guess you waiting on a wave Put a lot of work in just to get a pay stub And you're waiting for the day that you gone wake up And you're living in a story that you made up I don't want your dollar bills In your pocket can't fulfill Gave you baggage sold you bags Like they surfing on your back Since I started moving it's been hard to just relax I got people counting on me they don't know it but I'm mad Remember back when I was younger used to think I was the Mack Know I'm doing everything I thought I'd do it's kinda wack I been waiting on waves all day and night Praying for time but i never get it and I'm scared to make it Scared of hatred scared of failure and scared to make it Scared to experiment scared of basic Scared to change scared to stay complacent I been riding waves my whole life Saying one day "I'll go make mine"
