Waiting for You
Corey Hart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody's lookin' for the answers
Everybody's lookin' for a place to hide
When I see you deep inside your shelter
Thinking that you got nobody on your side
Don't you know if you run the distance
You may be so far from the maddening crowd
I say the path of least resistance
Is knowing that you're around when I call out loud
I read the writing it's on the wall

(It says) here I am and I'm knocking at your door
Get a message and you're not alone I'm waiting for you
And you never have to worry no way, no way
You're not alone I'm right beside you
And all you have to do is call me, call me
You're not alone because I'm waiting for you

Lonely nights looking for salvation
Tell me now, exactly what does that mean?
All I know is that I need relation
And nothin' else could ever come between
I see the writing that's on the wall

(It says) here I am and I'm knockin' at your door
I get a message and you're not alone, I'm waitin' for you
And you never have to worry no way, no way
You're not alone I'm right beside you
And all you have to is call me, call me
You're not alone, I'm waiting for you
And you never have to worry (oh, now)
You're not alone
Because I'm waiting for you

You're not alone I'm waitin' for you
And you never have to worry no way, no way
You're not alone I'm right beside you
And all you have to do is call me, call me
You're not alone I'm waiting for you
And you never have to worry
When I look in your eyes
You're not alone, I'm waiting for you
Waiting for you
And when I look in your eyes and I stare at you

Come here now, to love, to love
Waiting for you, waiting for you




You're not alone I'm waitin' for you
And you never have to worry, call me now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Waiting for You" by Corey Hart convey the idea of loneliness and the desire for human connection. The song starts by stating that everyone is searching for something - answers or a place to hide. It then goes on to describe how the singer sees someone who is in their own world, thinking that they have no one on their side. The singer tells them that if they run the distance, they might be far from the maddening crowd and the path of least resistance is knowing that they are around when he calls out loud. The chorus reiterates the message that the singer is waiting for this person, right beside them, and they never have to worry because they are not alone.


The second verse talks about the feeling of loneliness and the need for human connection. The singer doesn't understand what "looking for salvation" means, but all he knows is that he needs "relation" and nothing else should come between. The writing on the wall is seen again, and it says that the singer is knocking on this person's door, waiting for them.


Overall, the song is about the longing for human connection, the feeling of loneliness, and the idea that someone is waiting for the listener. The message is one of hope and reassurance that they never have to worry because they are not alone.
