In the Waiting by Kina Grannis Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’ve been waiting for answers
I’ve been waiting a long, long time
If I open the door won’t you come inside

[Verse 2]
My heart’s begging for mercy
How much longer can I sit still and be
Hopeful and doubting and torn inside

[Chorus]
And all this time
I’ve been staring at the minute hand
Oh what a crime
That I can’t seem to understand that life is in the waiting

[Verse 3]
I’ve been working on patience
Trying to trust in the timing of my tiny existence
I come alive
I sat still in the twilight
I found peace in the quiet things
How could I wish away all the in between
[Chorus]
And all this time
I’ve been staring at the minute hand
Oh what a crime
That I can’t seem to understand that life is in the waiting

[Bridge]
And I find there’s no knowing of a right time
No it could keep you waiting all night for it
So hold tight
Don’t lose sleep over the half-life
Know that everything is alright
Just like it is

[Chorus]
And all this time
I’ve been staring at the minute hand
Oh what a crime
That I can’t seem to understand that life is in the waiting
