Description
"In the Wings" is a snarky love song about that period of time when everyone BUT the guy has figured out that something's going on, and you're just waiting for him to get his act together.
Lyrics
It’s not what I had expected The callback never is Too many more have rejected me I audition with every kiss It feels like I’m in the green room Just biding my time during scenes Hoping that my turn will come around soon But for now I’m just in between I’m looking out on the stage at you Wondering when you’ll decide to speak my cue But I am patient I’m so professional But if you let me I could be wonderful I could dance, I could sing I could do so many things But I am waiting in the wings You know that I’ve been rehearsing Every heartbreak has been a trial Slowly but surely I’m learning To stand up straight and smile I’ve never been a great actress I couldn’t hold a poker face if I tried And I can’t make any progress Because you make it hard for me to hide I’m looking out on the stage at you Wondering when you’ll decide to speak my cue But I am patient I’m so professional But if you let me I could be wonderful I could dance, I could sing I could do so many things But I am waiting in the wings And I’m no prima donna I won’t demand to be cast But I can’t help but wonder How long this wait will last I’m looking out on the stage at you Wondering when you’ll decide to speak my cue But I am patient I’m quite professional But if you let me I could be wonderful I could dance, I could sing I could do so many things But I’m in the wings Oh baby, don’t keep me waiting In the wings I’ll be waiting in the wings
