Waiting In The Wings
5:07
A slow dance ballad with piano and strings about the confession of secret desires, where the perfect match for each person is nearby, one knowing it, and the other not noticing due to being fresh out of a relationship but increasingly ready to get back in the swing.
"Waiting In The Wings"
Written by Scott CooleyYou're so lonely and I'm the only
One who can really tell
I've got a secret crush and it's because
I've come to know you so well
Why can't you see I'm what you need
To get over him and feel better
I wonder what will it take for us to make
A new romance together
You dance with all your girlfriends
But that doesn't mean you want to
I'm a wallflower man
But I can't take my eyes off you
You're the reigning dancing queen
But if you could only see
I'm lonely too and wishing
I could be your king
I'm waiting in the wings
You're available, maybe attainable
And I'm strategizing how
You're in my orbit, back on the market
But I'm just a friend to you now
I'm biding my time on the sidelines
And if you only knew
I'm ready to groove with my best moves
And I'm saving them just for you
You dance with all your girlfriends
But that doesn't mean you want to
I'm a wallflower man
But I can't take my eyes off you
You're the reigning dancing queen
But if you could only see
I'm lonely too and wishing
I could be your king
I'm waiting in the wings
It won’t be long until they play a slow song
And I’ll ask you to dance someday
With liquid courage I won’t get discouraged
If you never thought of me that way
I’ll take a chance, because it’s more than a dance
And we’re not getting any younger
We’re both empty inside, so why not give it a try
It might satisfy our love hunger
You dance with all your girlfriends
But that doesn't mean you want to
I'm a wallflower man
But I can't take my eyes off you
You're the reigning dancing queen
But if you could only see
I'm lonely too and wishing
I could be your king
I'm waiting in the wings
