"Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" is a song written and sung by Jack Johnson.

[2] The single, "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" only became a chart hit in the United Kingdom after the re-release climbed into the Top 75 following Jack Johnson's exposure on the 2006 BRIT Awards on ITV1.

The single climbed to hit status a week before the release of "Better Together".

However, the single was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

Johnson explains the inspiration behind the song by saying: "A friend of mine was trying to get this girl named Michelle," said Johnson, "and I tried to write a song that would help him have a laugh at himself because he was spending so much time trying to get her and it obviously wasn't leading anywhere.
