Waiting There For You
Reamonn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did they let you go?
Or are you running still from them?
Are you just mesmerized by the way it is?

Did you see your dream
Fade before your eyes?
Or are you still reaching out?

And can you hear me scream?
Can you hear me scream?
Hear me scream?

I'm waiting there for you
I'm waiting there for you
But there's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do

Did you see my face
Stuck here in the crowd?
Could you see me cry
When you turned away?

And did you see the tears
Rolling down my face?
Could you feel my pain

And did you hear me scream?
Did you hear me scream?
Hear me scream

I'm waiting there for you
I'm waiting there for you
But there's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do

I'm waiting there for you
I'm waiting there for you
But there's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do

Overall Meaning

“Waiting There For You” is a song by Reamonn, a German rock band. The lyrics of the song describe the feeling of waiting for someone who has left or is gone, wanting them to return but being helpless at the same time.


The first few lines of the song ask if the person they are waiting for has been released from something or if they are still on the run. It shows that the person is trying to find out what led to the other person's departure. They also inquire if the other person is alright and wonders if the world took away the other person’s dreams. They still hold hope that the other person will return to them someday.


In the chorus, the singer expresses their longing to be reunited with the other person, saying that they're waiting for them, but feels helpless because there is nothing they can do. They also ask if the other person can hear their screams of anguish and wait for a response. In the last verse, the singer asks if the other person could see their face or feel their pain, knowing that their tears were visible.


The song seems to be about longing and feeling powerless, but also about holding on to hope that the one they are waiting for will return someday. It's also about the pain and feeling of emptiness that comes from waiting indefinitely. The emotions evoked in this song— yearning, frustration, and helplessness, make the listener feel the singer's pain and hope in the return of the one they are waiting for.
