Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brooks Mesto's song "Long Time" are fairly simple, repeating the line "A long time I've been waiting" throughout the entire song. However, the repetition of this line emphasizes the longing and desperation for the one thing the singer desires most: love. The use of only one word, "your," in the final lines reinforces that this love is specific to one person and will not be satisfied until it is received from them.

The repetition also creates a sense of timelessness, as if the singer has been waiting for this love for an infinite amount of time. The use of the word "waiting" also suggests passivity on the part of the singer, indicating that they are not actively pursuing this love but instead simply waiting for it to come to them.

Overall, the lyrics of "Long Time" convey a sense of deep longing and hopelessness, as the singer is stuck in a state of waiting for something that may never come.
