Waiting for You
Bonehead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunrise creeping through my window
Thought that I could make it on my own
But sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I know that I was wrong

Somehow I was made for you
But has it been too long
Sometimes love makes it
Sometimes love dies

Somewhere in the middle I wait for you to arrive
Moonlight draped across my shoulders
No time for understanding you
Still sometimes I miss you

And now I know that I was wrong
And somehow I was made for you
But I know it's been too long
Sometimes love makes it





Sometimes love dies
Somewhere in the middle I wait for you to arrive (repeat)
