I've got to move this paper
I guess it's all the same to you
But I can't sit around and wait
Can't Sit around and wait for you.
It never works
You say you'll call me later
I can't sit around and wait
Can't Sit around and wait for you.
Just another cup of coffee,
I'll sit around and wait for you.
I always knew
Yeah, I always knew
You were a liar.
I'm not a king, I'm not a cop.
I'm not here to punish you.
When I really can't see anymore of what the fuss is all about
It's not my career
To wait and do you favors
I guess it's really nothing do
When I'm running late
You call the undertaker
Because you've got so much shit to do
I can't sit around and wait
Can't sit around and wait for you.
Just one more cigarette,
I'll sit around and wait for you.
I always knew
Yeah, I always knew
You were a liar.
I'm not a king, I'm not a cop.
I'm not here to punish you.
When I really can't see anymore of what the fuss is all about
Just another cup of coffee,
I'll sit around and wait for you.
Just one more cigarette,
I'll sit around and wait for you.
I guess I really will
I'll sit around and wait for you.
The lyrics to Dr Didg's song "Later" are about waiting for someone who never keeps their promises. The singer has a job and responsibilities, and cannot sit around and wait for this person any longer. The other person says they will call, but never does, and the singer is tired of waiting for them. The singer recognizes that they have always known that this person is a liar and cannot be trusted.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration and resignation. The singer recognizes that they are not a king, a cop, or someone who is there to punish the other person. They are simply tired of waiting and being let down. The repeated lines of "just another cup of coffee" and "just one more cigarette" emphasize the passing of time and the sense of waiting that the singer is experiencing.
Overall, the lyrics of "Later" are about boundaries and self-respect. The singer knows that they have other things to attend to and cannot keep waiting for someone who never comes through. There is a sense of letting go and moving on, even if it means sitting around and waiting for a little while longer.
