Greyson Chance who gained attention after posting a Youtube video of himself performing Lady Gaga’s song “Paparazzi” visited Ryan Seacrest’s radio show last October 26 to debut his first ever single “Waiting Outside the Lines”. He said,
“The song comes from the heart and I hope and pray that my fans can use it to ‘escape’ from all the pressures of life. I can’t wait for everyone to take this journey with me.”
Later that day, the 13-year-old singer stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to perform his new single live for the very first time.
When Chance first came out, people drew comparison between him and another teen pop idol Justin Bieber. But, “Waiting Outside the Lines” proves he is different from the Canadian singer. While Bieber tends to make bubble gum pop tracks, Chance goes to a pretty grown-up song with thos inspirational lyrics. He hopes “this song will be a place where we all can escape and be free.”
Right now, I think that Greyson Chance is my favorite kid artist out there right now. His music has soul and is think he will succeed in the mission he set for himself, “to bring back the art and create a new sound.”
The single is expected to appear in Greyson Chance’s upcoming debut album which is yet to be titled. However, he is going to drop a mini album before moving on to a full-length set. The effort is scheduled to be released under Ellen DeGeneres’ label ElevenEleven/Interscope Records.
Greyson Chance – Waiting Outside the Lines” Lyrics
You’ll never enjoy your life,
living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
how you gonna reach the top?
Rules and regulations,
force you to play it safe
Get rid of all the hesitation,
it’s time for you to seize the day
Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now…
I’m waiting…waiting…just waiting…
I’m waiting…waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Try to have no regrets
even if it’s just tonight
How you gonna walk ahead
if you keep living behind?
Stuck in my same position,
you deserve so much more
There’s a whole world around us,
just waiting to be explored
Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now, just let it go
The world will force you to smile
I’m here to help you notice the rainbow
Cause I know,
What’s in you is out there
I’m waiting…waiting…just waiting…
I’m waiting…waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
I’m trying to be patient (I’m trying to be patient)
the first step is the hardest (the hardest)
I know you can make it,
go ahead and take it
I’m Waiting…waiting…just waiting…I’m waiting
I’m waiting…waiting…just waiting
I’m waiting…waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
You’ll never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?
