Waiting For
Joakim Lundell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't leave you, even if it's what you want to
If we could see eye to eye, I'll give it (I'll give it to you)
You don't know me, so I wanna try to move closer
You move away, there's an ocean between us
So, what are we waiting for?
I need, I need your answer
I need, I need your answer
Baby won't you tell me
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we, what are we
What are we waiting for?
(What are we, what are we waiting for?)
Speak to me, yeah, I want to, I want to
Know all the things you hide
Baby, we say we need time
Just to know how it feels apart
But I know how it feels in the dark
So, what are we waiting for?
I need, I need your answer
So, what are we waiting for?
I need, I need your answer
Baby won't you tell me
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we, what are we
What are we waiting for?
So what are we waiting for?
I need, I need your answer
(What are you waiting for?)
(What are you waiting for?)
So what are we waiting for?
I need, I need your answer
(What are you waiting for?)
(What are you waiting for?)
(What are you waiting for?)
(What are you waiting for?)
What are you waiting for?
(What are you waiting for?)
What are you waiting for?
The lyrics of "Waiting For" by Joakim Lundell convey a sense of urgency and frustration in a relationship that is at a standstill. The opening lines "I can't quit you, I don't want to, I can't leave you, even if it's what you want to" suggest that the singer is not ready to let go of the relationship even if their partner is. However, if they could communicate effectively and "see eye to eye," they would be willing to compromise and meet in the middle. The metaphor of an "ocean between us" emphasizes the distance and lack of connection between the two.
The chorus of the song is a plea for clarity and direction in the relationship. The repetition of "what are we waiting for?" is a rhetorical question that suggests the singer is ready for a change in the relationship and needs their partner to make a decision. The line "I need, I need your answer" underscores the urgency of the situation and the singer's need for resolution.
The second verse highlights the tension and uncertainty in the relationship. The singer wants to get closer to their partner, but the partner keeps moving away. The line "Baby, we say we need time, Just to know how it feels apart, But I know how it feels in the dark" suggests that the singer is tired of waiting and wants to know if the relationship is worth fighting for.
Overall, "Waiting For" is a song about the struggle to keep a relationship alive, the frustration of not being on the same page, and the need for clarity and direction.

LYRICS:I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
She said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss
I want something just like this
I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo,
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo,
Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
