About This Song


Faking it all like nothing happened
Sitting at home it's dark outside
Lifting it all like super human
They don't know the power you hide
Everyone got something special
Scared of what we feel inside

I wanna be
More
Shutting it off
What for
Letting it out
Just go
And see all
See all
What's waiting for you now

And I've been waiting for the crash and burn
You've been holding on the feelings hurt
And I've been standing just to catch your fall
And you've been wondering if there was more

Faking it all like nothing happened
Sitting at home It's dark outside
Lifting it all like super human
They don't know the power you hide
Everyone got something special
Scared of what we feel inside

I wanna be
More
Shutting it off / Letting it out
What for / Grow
Letting it out / Shedding it off
Go
And see all
See all
What's waiting for you now

What's waiting for you now
I wanna be
What's waiting for you now
I wanna be
What's waiting for you now

I’m not up to date on the current trends in Pop music, but I feel lost in this one. 

You start out singing to someone else with “They don’t know the power you hide”, but then you throw in “I wanna be”, which shifts the focus.  Then back to someone else again with “What’s waiting for you now”.  Is the song about you, or someone else?  At the end, it switches with every line.

The arrangement feels strange and I’m not sure where the verses end and the chorus begins.  As for title, my initial thought was “I Wanna be More”, but might also go with “Waiting for You Now”, depending on which direction you take the song.

Keep writing!
