Always Waiting
Benjamin Booker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said God it's working
All is searching, all is searching
Said never been so sad, said never been so sad
Fade away, I realm to said this away
I'll be there falling, I'll be there falling
That seems I'll do it that
Always paying that, always paying that
Always waiting, always waiting
So I'm not waiting, baby don't wait
I will love to see you away
I will love to see you
I'll be there falling, I'll be there falling
That seems I'll do it that
I'll be there falling, I'll be there falling
That seems I'll do it that
The lyrics to Benjamin Booker's song "Always Waiting" can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one common theme is loss and the struggle to move on.

The line "said never been so sad" emphasizes the depth of the emotion being felt.
The chorus, "always waiting, always waiting, so I'm not waiting, baby don't wait," implies a desire to break free from this cycle of waiting and move on. The line "I will love to see you away" could be interpreted as wanting distance from someone who has caused pain or a reminder of that pain. The repetition of "I'll be there falling, that seems I'll do it that" suggests a feeling of inevitability or inability to escape the cycle.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing for resolution and closure after experiencing loss or pain, with a struggle to break free from the cycle of waiting and move on.
