Waiting For You
C.O.M.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This one's for you
Three weeks ago (Three weeks ago)
Was the last time (The last time)
I talked to you (Talked on the phone)
Now I'm feeling blue (Feelin)
But there's a sense
Of remorse
I take out my front door
And put in
A new one
One that welcomes everyone
A great big sign of love
I hope you understand (Understand)
Where I'm coming from (Comin from)
And where I wanna land
In the future (I'll be gone)
I'll be gone (Still be here waiting)
You'll still be here waiting for me
I think I left
The screen door open
The flies come in
And nest in your bedroom
In the floor
It's been a year (It's been a year)
Since I was there (I was gone)
And since
You were here
But I am happy now
Don't know why
I no longer cry (I don't know)
For you (Why)
It's just me and my room (Me and my room)
Tape deck open and my guitar (Tape deck)
In my lap
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and (This one's for you)
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
A cigarette or two
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks or two (Party)
Maybe a cigarette (Never fell through)
Maybe a drink
I thought I was falling for you
But I fell through the cracks (Falling for you)
In your room (Falling for crack)
I'm lying on my back
Can't get up, that's a heart attack (On my back)
Like a turtle
Without a shell
This one's for you
The song "Waiting For You" by C.O.M.E. seems to be a reflection on a past relationship. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that it has been three weeks since they last talked to the person they're singing to. They express that they're feeling blue but at the same time, there's a sense of remorse. The singer is trying to move on by replacing the front door, but they acknowledge that their former partner will always be waiting for them. The song takes a very melancholy turn in the second verse when the singer mentions that it's been a year since they were last with their partner, and they seem to be happy now but don't know why they no longer cry for their partner. The chorus is repeated at the end, with the singer singing about maybe having a party with Tim, but it all falls through, and they are left lying on their back like a turtle without a shell.
The lyrics of "Waiting For You" seem to be a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship that wasn't fully resolved. The singer acknowledges that they still have feelings for their former partner, but they're trying to move on. However, it seems that they're struggling with letting go entirely, and the thought of their partner waiting for them is always present in their mind. The reference to the turtle without a shell is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer is vulnerable and exposed without their former partner's protection.
