Waiting Game
Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you make me feel all sexy but it's causing me shame
I wanna lean on your shoulder
I wish I was allowed but I don't wanna cause any pain
And if I'm feeling like I'm evil, we got nothing to gain
What if I never even see you 'cause we're both on a stage?
Don't tell me listen to your song, because it isn't the same
I don't wanna say your love is a waiting game
Baby, I'm thinking it over
What if the way we started made it something cursed from the start?
What if it only gets colder?
Would you still wrap me up and tell me that you think this was smart?
'Cause lately I've been scared of even thinking 'bout where we are
What if I never even see you 'cause we're both on a stage?
Don't tell me listen to your song, because it isn't the same
I don't wanna say your love is a waiting game
What if I never even see you 'cause we're both on a stage?
Don't tell me listen to your song, because it isn't the same
I don't wanna say your love is a waiting game
Banks's song "Waiting Game" expresses the singer's feelings of uncertainty and fear in a relationship. The opening lines immediately suggest a feeling of conflict in the singer's mind. She admits to feeling sexy due to her partner's influence, but at the same time, there is shame in this feeling. The next line suggests a desire to lean on her partner's shoulder but a fear of causing pain. The singer is also struggling with the idea of her own morality, wondering if her actions are evil, and if being with her partner is worth the cost.
The chorus of the song repeats the same four lines twice. The singer wonders what will happen if she never sees her partner again. She is unsure of what the future may hold, and the fear and anxiety express her uncertainty in the relationship. She then implies that her partner's music cannot provide her with the solution or comfort she needs, indicating that the problem lies within the relationship itself, not outside of it. She concludes with the statement that she does not want to say that love is a waiting game, implying that she may be waiting for her partner to change or make a move, which she doesn't want to admit.
Overall, "Waiting Game" is a haunting and evocative song, expressing the complexity and confusion inherent in relationships.
