Waiting
Brian Benham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting here all alone this way
Tonight isn't lost love, all is found
I'm running away and I'm waiting for you to come around
Every time I see the water I think of you
Every time I see the waves fade against some blue I think of, you
Waiting by the lapping sea, I'm waiting for you ever patiently
So move along now, a dozen dreams you
Call me now, and you're calling me to see what seems so wrong
With me, what's wrong with you
It's that separation contemplate it, figure it out
I miss you
Every time I see the water I think of you
Every time I see the waves fade against some blue I think of, you
You know where to find me, waiting by the water
Waiting by the lapping sea, I'm waiting for you ever patiently
You know where to find me, waiting by the water
Waiting by the lapping sea, I'm waiting for you ever patiently
To hold you now as the world is getting colder
Hold you now, life is short but it's worth getting older
Time moves along, we're strung along now
You know where to find me, waiting by the water
Waiting by the lapping sea, I'm waiting for you
You know where to find me, waiting by the water
Waiting by the lapping sea, I'm waiting for you ever patiently
So set it off love, get away and just go and leave me
Sitting here all alone this way
The song "Waiting" by Brian Benham is a heartbreaking ballad about a person who is waiting for their loved one to come back to them. The lyrics tell the story of the singer who is left alone while his love is away. He misses her and thinks of her every time he sees the water and the waves fade against the blue. The singer is struggling to cope with the separation while feeling the urge to hold her again. He's waiting for her ever patiently by the lapping sea, hoping that she'll come back to him.
The song showcases the emotions of longing, hope, and love entangled with pain, sadness, and uncertainty. The lyrics suggest that the singer's lover has gone away, and instead of moving on, he's holding on to the unrealistic hope that she'll come back. The chorus of the song reinforces this message and displays the singer's unwavering determination as he waits beside the lapping sea.
"Waiting" is a song that resonates with anyone who's ever been in love, separated from their partner, and hoping for their return. The lyrics convey a feeling of helplessness and desperation that is relatable to anyone who's ever been through a heartbreak. The song's somber tune and melancholic melody create an ambiance of sadness that mirrors the emotions the singer goes through in the lyrics.
