Verse 1 I’ve been standing at the edge of something new Watching days fall through my hands like broken rules Every morning feels like déjà vu Same old sky, same unspoken truth I built these wings from hope and scars From whispered dreams and falling stars But every time I try to move The ground keeps pulling me back to you Pre-Chorus They say the timing has to be right But how do you know when fear feels wise? I keep circling the same old signs Waiting for a green light in a red-light life Chorus I’m waiting for the perfect time to let my wings unfold But every road is blocked by things I can’t control I want to fly, I swear I do But the wind is heavy, the sky’s confused I’m waiting for the perfect time to rise But all I ever meet are problems in disguise Verse 2 I hear voices telling me to be brave While they never stood where I stand today They don’t feel the weight inside my chest They don’t see the cracks I try to mend Every step forward feels like a fight Between who I am and who I might I’m strong enough to dream it through But not enough to know what to do Pre-Chorus 2 I trace my shadows on the wall Wondering if I’m meant to fall If patience is a kind of faith Or just another pretty way to wait Chorus I’m waiting for the perfect time to let my wings unfold But every promise breaks apart before it turns to gold I want to jump, I want to try But doubt keeps pulling me out of the sky I’m waiting for the perfect time to rise But every step I take, the ground replies Post-Chorus Maybe I’m afraid of what I’ll see When there’s nothing left holding onto me Maybe freedom’s just another test Of choosing flight over fear instead Bridge What if there is no perfect day? No clear blue sky, no easy way What if the moment never comes And courage is moving when you’re still numb? I’ve been guarding these wings so long Afraid that flying means I’m wrong But staying here is breaking me More than the fall could ever be Breakdown (Soft / Emotional) I don’t need the answers tonight I just need a reason to believe That these wings weren’t made for the ground That I was born for more than waiting Final Chorus I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to let my wings unfold But maybe perfect’s just a lie we’ve always been told I’m scared to fall, but scared to stay Of wasting every dream by staying safe I won’t wait for the perfect time to rise Even if the sky is full of warning signs Outro So here I am, shaking but alive Letting go, one breath at a time If I fall, at least I tried To prove these wings were meant to fly
