Story Behind The Song

A friend of ours, singer/songwriter Jason Mraz got signed to Elektra. We watched him blow up to the star he is now. We were happy for him and jealous at the same time. We wrote this song about waiting for the day to come when it would hopefully happen to us too.

Song Description

Wanting to succeed in the music business, waiting for the day the world will know your name.

Lyrics

Wondering through the thoughts in my mind
Of a day that I can?t wait to realize
Wondering if it?s all I hoped for and all that it?s
Really cracked up to be, and I

Know some who?ve done it before, and
Some that are doing it right now
And I?d trade the world in to feel just
How it is to stand in their shoes

CHORUS

Cause I?m?

Waiting for my day to come
I?m waiting for all the things to line up just the way they should, I?m
Ready for my day to come
And you to finally know me

Hey yeah?.oh, yeah

2nd Verse

Day gets closer and closer as the obsession grows
To the point of explosion
Things begin to get crazy and life gets
Just a little more complicated than before, so I

Hold on to family and friends and I
I hope for the best
And I cross my fingers and hope that the explosion gets the attention?

?of the world, cause I?m?

CHORUS

Waiting for my day to come
I?m waiting for all the things to line up just the way they should, I?m
Ready for my day to come
When you will finally?..KNOW ME!

BRIDGE / SOLO

Outro

Waiting for my day to come
Oh?
Why can?t all the things line up just the way they should?
Waiting for my day to come, yeah
When you will finally
Know me
