Right Here Waiting
Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look for something new,
There's been too much goin' down,
I Don't know what to do.
They say that what you never had you never miss,
So tell me why I never knew a love like this.
Right here (nothing else matters)
Waiting (things are getting better)
You're the (only thing that matters)
One thing (I'm never givin' up).
Should have seen it from the start,
That you were always there.
Ain't no tearing us apart,
I can't believe you're here.
They say that what you never had you never miss
So tell me why I never knew a love like this.
[Chorus]
I'm needing in my life, It's taken time for me to realise,
How come I never saw you standing right before my eyes?
Right here waiting
They say that what you never had you never miss
So tell me why I never knew a love like this.
[Chorus]
I'm needing in my life,
It's taken time for me to realize,
How come I never saw you,
Standing right before my eyes ?
The first verse expresses the singer's feeling of confusion and uncertainty after experiencing ups and downs in life. They are searching for something new to hold onto and are puzzled by a love that they never knew existed until now. The chorus reveals that the singer has found what they were looking for - someone who is important enough to them that nothing else matters. The reassurance of their partner's presence makes everything else seem to be getting better. The repetition of the phrase "never giving up" highlights the singer's determination to hold onto this love.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that they should have noticed their partner's constant presence in their life from the start. They profess their love and gratitude, declaring that nothing can separate them. The bridge emphasizes the singer's realization that their partner was always there for them, and it took some time to recognize and appreciate their worth. Finally, the song concludes on a hopeful note, with the singer waiting for their partner to stay right by their side forever.
