Waiting For
Hollyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rolled in, like a fresh breeze
Pretty sure, you were feeling me
Could you see my heart, skip a beat?
Tell me boy, did you see me stumble when my knees got weak

Took me to a place, I wasn't ready for
Showed me things in me, that I just can't ignore
Everything about us, was a perfect storm
But it's all clear now

How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were
All, I've been waiting for?

How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were
All, I've been waiting for?

No, I, don't, need
No more time, no more time to think about it
I, just, want, this
Over and done, I'm done with it
I don't wanna see you

No more (no more)
Standing on my door step
Keeping score
Standing on my doorstep
Tryna do us again (no-no-no, no-no)
I can't do us again

How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were
All, I've been waiting for?

How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were?
How could I think that you were
All, I've been waiting for?

Baby I'm alright
It's all in perfect timing
I know I'll be alright
The sun will keep on shining

Baby I'm alright
It's all in perfect timing




I know I'll be alright
The sun will keep on shining

As the relationship progresses, the singer soon discovers that there are issues that she was not ready for. The other person exposes things about her that she can't ignore, and everything about their connection felt like a perfect storm. However, through it all, the singer realizes how wrong she was about the person. She asks herself how she could have thought that he was all she'd been waiting for.
