Waiting To Be Discovered Lyrics

I've kicked around this city for too long
Waiting for someone to hear my song
Don't we live the life
Don't we live the life
Don't we live the life

All my fire is gone
I'm losing the light
I'm lost in the stars
I'm lost in the night
I'm out of this place
And into another
Unchartered and untraced
Waiting to be discovered

I've beat around the bush
And now I'm tired
Wanting desperately to be desired
Don't we live the life
Don't we live the life
Don't we live the life

All my money is gone
I'm losing this high
I'm losing my mind
Everytime I close my eyes
I'm out of the past
In the night of the hunter
We float around in a raft
Waiting to be discovered
Waiting to be discovered
Waiting to be discovered
Waiting to be discovered

Red lipstick
In a black and white photograph
Red lipstick
In a black and white photograph

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I could comment on every one of these songs, but anyway this older one will always be one of my favorites. Such imagery. I think I’m much too biased; I’m a fan of Joel Plaskett and the Emergency. Their music never ceases to alter my perspective on things. I’m an admirer of any song that can do that. And anyway I like the lyrics.

I’m always like oh that’s clever. I like that.
