Waiting For A Miracle Lyrics

[Verse]
Oh my God, just take the firearm from me
Holy fuck, I understand that I'm too weak
Oh my God, just shut me up for Heaven’s sake
So I load one 'round, I'm scared to die while I’m awake
So I close my eyes and wait for a miracle

And everything done for the dead after they're dead, is for the living
And everything done on a day, goddamn it, that's our decision
I kept my eyes closed, it was easy, now I see it with perfect vision
And everything done for the dead after they're dead, is for the living
Fuck me up, fuck it, get fucked up, hey
Fuck me up, yeah, and stay fucked up

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

As the title suggests, he shuts his eyes and waits for a miracle, wishing for a life more peaceful and stress-free than the life he has now. His statements reflect a possibility for Post Malone to end his life by committing suicide.

The song features Post’s voice as the centerpiece of the song accompanied by a melancholy piano line, creating the feeling of longing for something, which is exactly what Post is wishing for in this track.
