Had no plans to show up
Was about to leave
You came out of nowhere
With possibilities
Turning nothing into something
Oh, I like where this is going
I can feel it, feel it coming
I do, baby, do you? Oh
How did we get this close?
Wonder how far we go
Losing all self-control
What are we waiting for?
Dancing until they close
Hold me and don’t let go
Don’t wanna leave alone
What are we waiting for?
Keeping me distracted
Keep my mind at ease
Middle of this madness
You’re focusing on me, oh
Turning nothing into something
Oh, I like where this is going
I can feel it, feel it coming
I do, baby, do you? Oh
How did we get this close?
Wonder how far we go
Losing all self-control
What are we waiting for?
Dancing until they close
Hold me and don’t let go
Don’t wanna leave alone
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
I don’t know how we got this close
I’m losing all my self-control
Hold on me tight and don’t let go
Hold on me tight and don’t let go
I don’t know how we got this close
I’m losing all my self-control
Hold on me tight and don’t let go
What are we waiting for?
How did we get this close?
Wonder how far we go
Losing all self-control
What are we waiting for?
Dancing until they close
Hold me and don’t let go
Don’t wanna leave alone
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Embracing the Unexpected
“What Are We Waiting For?” by Afrojack captures the magic of spontaneous connections and the thrill of living in the moment. The lyrics paint a picture of two people unexpectedly drawn together, their evening transformed by possibility. The repeated question, “What are we waiting for?” serves as both a challenge and an invitation—to let go of hesitation and fully embrace the experience, no matter where it leads.
The Joy of Letting Go
The song explores themes of self-discovery and vulnerability, as the characters lose themselves in the energy of the night. The dance floor becomes a metaphor for freedom, where all distractions fade and only the present matters. Afrojack uses simple yet evocative language to highlight the intensity of newfound attraction and the willingness to risk comfort for connection.
