VIDEO LYRICS: Greyson Chance releases debut single ‘Waiting Outside the Lines’

YouTube singing sensation Greyson Chance has just launched his first single entitled “Waiting Outside the Lines” via ryanseacrest.com.

Chance performed a cover version of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at a 6th grade talent contest and the video of the performance went viral 2.0.  As of this post the page shows the clip at over 32 million views.  The 13-year-old from Texas was signed by Ellen Degeneres’ music label eleveneleven.  The name of the label was partly inspired by the fact that Ellen first heard Chance’s version of “Paparazzi” on May 11 and the young Greyson wore the number 11 on his soccer uniform.

Here is a clip of Chance announcing the release of the single via iTunes today:

Here are the lyrics for “Waiting Outside the Lines” by Greyson Chance:

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 daaay

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 gonnna 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?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and just guess that this Greyson kid is going to sell a few records. What do you think of the song?
