Waiting for You
...On Friday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you don´t have
It´s all about that something
You don´t understand
You try so hard
You should be smart
Coz else you
Still ask yourself
Where did it all go wrong?
Who could ever make you sing that song?
Life is something you should take as
Something that´s been given to you
Take your chance it´s now and not tomorrow
No time for waiting!
Your love has left you so you
Feel all day down
He was no good for you but
He let you drown
So don´t look back
It´s all ahead
Coz else you
Still ask yourself
Where did it all go wrong?
Who could ever make you sing that song?
Life is something you should take as
Something that´s been given to you
Take your chance it´s now and not tomorrow
No time for waiting!
I tell you something
You should just realize
That life´s a journey
You should just learn to fly
Don´t ask yourself
Where did it all go wrong?
Who could ever make you sing that song?
Life is something you should take as
Something that´s been given to you
Take your chance it´s now and not tomorrow
No time for waiting!
The lyrics of Waiting For You by ...On Friday are centered around a message of encouragement, urging the listener to take control of their situation and seize opportunities without waiting for tomorrow. The beginning lines, "I can rely on something/That you don´t have/It´s all about that something/You don´t understand" suggest a level of confidence and self-reliance that the singer possesses that is lacking in their peer. They then go on to address someone who they believe is struggling, advising them to stop dwelling on past mistakes and take action, as "life is something you should take as something that´s been given to you/Take your chance it´s now and not tomorrow/No time for waiting."
The lyrics describe how the singer understands that life presents challenges, such as heartbreak, but it is critical to keep moving forward towards new experiences. The second verse describes the singer’s understanding of a situation where a lover has left, and while it might feel debilitating, ultimately, it will pass, and moving on is essential. The lyrics remind anyone who is struggling that "it's all ahead" and to focus on the future rather than looking back. The song concludes with a call to action, "Don’t ask yourself/Where did it all go wrong?/Who could ever make you sing that song?/Life is something you should take as/Something that´s been given to you/Take your chance it´s now and not tomorrow/No time for waiting!"
