Waiting For
Hollyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Waiting For" by Hollyn is about realizing that someone who seemed like the perfect fit wasn't actually the one. The song starts with the introduction of someone new; she describes the feeling of being struck by a fresh breeze and knowing that the other person was also feeling her. She describes her heart skipping a beat and her knees getting weak, signaling the palpable chemistry between them.
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.
Throughout the song, there's a feeling of finality as the singer acknowledges the closure of the relationship. She doesn't need any more time to think about it but wants it to be over and done with. She doesn't want to see him again and tries to distance herself from him. The song ends on a hopeful note, where the singer reassures herself that she'll be alright, and the sun will keep shining.
