[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall keeps draggin'
Same four walls, same couch saggin'
Coffee gone cold by the TV glow
I dress up my heart, but nowhere to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Scrollin' through faces I’ll never meet
Laugh it off, then I hit repeat
Tell my friends that I like the peace
But I talk too loud to the empty seats
[Chorus]
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me to
Call ‘em up late, say “I’m on my way to you”
Lean on my shoulder, steal all my hoodies
Laugh at my worst, still think I’m a movie
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me to
Stay when it’s hard, say “yeah, I still choose you”
Not perfect, just honest and hungry
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me
[Verse 2 – Rap]
Lil’ tired of the “maybe someday”
Of the “you’re so sweet,” then they walk away
Got a playlist full of songs I skip
’Cause they hit too close and they cut too quick
Mama say, “Love comes when you don’t chase”
I’ve been sittin’ still, same place, same face
Talking to the air like, “Where you at?”
Got room in the truck and a spare ball cap (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Friends got rings, got kids, got plans
I got takeout, texts, empty hands
Tell my pride that I’m doin’ fine
But I save one seat at the table of my life
[Chorus]
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me to
Sing off-key, still say “that sounds cool”
Drive through the night just to see my stupid grin
Lose every fight, then come back and let me in
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me to
Learn all my scars and still say “that’s you”
Not perfect, just open and lonely
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re out there
Same worn hoodie, same blank stare
Talkin’ to the ceiling, sayin’ my name
Don’t know me yet, but you feel the same (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me to
Turn “me” and “you” into somethin’ true
Dance in the kitchen, feet on my toes
Spin me around in your thrift-store clothes
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me to
Look in my eyes, say “yeah, that’ll do”
Not perfect, just steady and stubborn
I’m just waitin’ on someone to want me
