I'm waiting on a four-leaf clover

Feels like I'm waiting all my life

Is this the beginning, or is it over?

Stand by, stand by, stand by, stand by

Just wait a little while

Just fake a little smile

Just wait, we're comin' to the end

They say just fake it until you make it

Don't want to take it anymore

Can almost taste it

But who can face it?

Don't want to waste it anymore

I've watched the world go on before me

And walked in shadows on its edge

I let their voices start to own me

What they said, they said, they said, they said

They say just fake it until you make it

Don't want to take it anymore

Can almost taste it

But who can face it?

Don't want to waste it anymore

They say just fake it until you make it

Don't want to take it anymore

I've gone along when I meant "no way"

Kept promises I never made

Held back when I should have kept going

So afraid, so afraid, so afraid

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So I pray it's now or never

It's overrated playing safe

Don't want to fade before it's over

I won't cave, I won't cave, I won't cave, I won't cave
