Waiting
Gabe Bondoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to speak to your heart
But in a game like this one
Babe, I only get one start
And I know I need my finish
I'm gonna wait til it's time
How many times do you have
To know that I'm on your side
So I keep waiting
Hiding my scrading
Til your love starts
Changing baby lookin for somebody
Like me to love
Cause in difference shouldn't
Spark your interest
They don't want your mind
Like rain and spring time
Like I do, like I do
I wanna tell you so badly
I wanna quit and give in
But hypothetical questions
They pose awkward situations
None of the fellows that said things
They never meant them at all
I just wanna be there baby
Like on-call
Not that you need me at all
So I keep waiting
Hiding my scrading
Til your love starts
Changing baby lookin for somebody
Like me to love
Cause in difference shouldn't
Spark your interest
They don't want your mind
Like rain and spring time
Like I do
It's not about sweet talk baby
It's not about superficiality
It's not about me, sweet lady
It's all about you
And what you wanna do
If you wanna wait
Then were gonna wait
I'm not gonna make mistakes
Girl I'm with you, yeah
With you, you, you
So I keep waiting
Hiding my scrading
Til your love starts
Changing baby lookin for somebody
Like me to love
Cause in difference shouldn't
Spark your interest
They don't want your mind
Like rain and spring time
Like I do, like I do
The song "Waiting" by Gabe Bondoc is a ballad about unrequited love. The song's narrator is waiting patiently for the woman he loves to realize that he is her ideal partner. He tries to speak to her heart but acknowledges that he only has one chance to do so. He is willing to wait for her to recognize that he is on her side, unlike the other guys she has met who are not interested in her mind. The lyrics are optimistic and promise to be patient in pursuit of love.
The song's opening lines, "In only one occasion, I try to speak to your heart," set the stage for a song about a hesitant confession of love. The chorus, "So I keep waiting, hiding my scarring, till your love starts changing, baby looking for somebody like me to love," conveys the singer's patience and hope that the woman he loves will eventually recognize him as a potential partner. The song's bridge emphasizes that he is not interested in superficiality or sweet talk, only in the woman's heart and what she wants to do.
Overall, "Waiting" is a simple but emotional ballad about unrequited love and the willingness to wait patiently for love's rewards.

In only one occasion
On a rare occasion
I try to speak to your heart
I attempt to connect with you emotionally
But in a game like this one
In this situation
Babe, I only get one start
I only have one chance
And I know I need my finish
I want to see this through
I'm gonna wait til it's time
I'll be patient until the right moment
How many times do you have
After going through enough bad experiences
To meet the wrong guy
To realize you have not met the right person
To know that I'm on your side
To see that I support you
So I keep waiting
I remain patient
Hiding my scrading
Covering up my anxieties
Til your love starts
Until you reciprocate my feelings
Changing baby lookin for somebody
Looking for a person who
Like me to love
Would love and appreciate you the way I would
Cause in difference shouldn't
Indifference is not necessary
Spark your interest
To catch your attention
They don't want your mind
Others are not interested in your way of thinking
Like rain and spring time
I do
I wanna tell you so badly
I want to express my feelings
I wanna quit and give in
I am tempted to give up
But hypothetical questions
Speculative scenarios
They pose awkward situations

None of the fellows that said things
None of the men who promised things
They never meant them at all
Did not truly feel or believe them
I just wanna be there baby
I just want to be present for you
Like on-call
Always available
Not that you need me at all
Not that you are dependent on me
It's not about sweet talk baby
It's not about flattery
It's not about superficiality
It's not about surface-level features
It's not about me, sweet lady
It's not about myself
It's all about you
It's all about you
And what you wanna do
And what you want for yourself
If you wanna wait
If you choose to be patient
Then were gonna wait
Then we will wait
I'm not gonna make mistakes
I will do my best to avoid mistakes
Girl I'm with you, yeah
I am here for you
With you, you, you
Always
