Waiting
32 Leaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting
Rip apart like everything
Anger me through the ceiling
Say the one thing
That drives me crazy
Till I'm burning in the fire again
I swear
I am burning in the fire again

I know I've been there once before
With my face down to the floor
Begging to feel the weight no more

Jaded by the ways of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone
Jaded by like the rest of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone

Speak to me in riddles that
Are somewhat hard to understand
Say something or don't say anything
And I'm preaching to the choir again
I swear
I am preaching to the choir again

I know I've been there once before
With my face down to the floor
Beggin' to feel the weight no more

Jaded by the ways of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone
Jaded by like the rest of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone

So I pave my own way
Just to get through the cold
I'm so sick of suffering and waiting here alone

Jaded by the ways of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone
Jaded by like the rest of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone

Till I'm burning in the fire again
I swear I am
Burning in the fire again
I know I've been there once before
With my face down to the floor
Begging to feel the weight no more

Jaded by the ways of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone
Jaded like the rest of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone

Speak to me in riddles that
Are somewhat hard to understand
Say something
Or don't say anything

And I'm preaching to the choir again
I swear I am
Preaching to the choir again
I know I've been there once before
With my face down to the floor
Beggin' to feel the weight no more

And waiting here alone
Waiting here alone
Waiting here alone

Jaded by the ways of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone
Jaded like the rest of the world, I keep on waiting
Waiting here alone
