Waiting For You
Jordan Pruitt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm not the type
To hand my heart over
Thought I was stronger
So I'm wonderin' why
I can't shake this feeling
Look what you're doing to me

No I'm not the type, not the type
To move in too quickly
Whenever you're near me
I just can't deny
The way that I'm feeling
I don't know what happens to me
I get nervous, I get breathless
When you're here next to me and

Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you

On you

Well, it's Friday night
I just tried to call you
I wonder where you are
Is everything alright
I wanna be with you
I wish I could reach you
I wish I could see you right now
I'm so anxious I don't wanna loose you
Or loose what we have cause

Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you

Some people wait
Thinking someday they'll find
Somethin' better
But I'm not afraid of making mistakes
So I'll, I'll take my chance

Some people wait for a life time
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance while it's here
We can make it
So don't keep me waiting

Some people wait for a lifetime
To feel like this baby
They keep waiting
So lets take a chance
While it's here, while we can
We can make it
But don't keep me waiting for you





For you

Overall Meaning

In "Waiting For You" by Jordan Pruitt, the singer expresses her confusion about the strong emotions she feels for the person she is interested in. She acknowledges that she is usually not the type to give her heart so easily, but she cannot help but feel nervous and breathless whenever this person is around. Despite her reservations, she wants to take a chance on this relationship, as some people wait a lifetime to feel the way she does. She is worried about losing what they have, and in the second verse, she tries calling this person, unable to control her anxiety about his whereabouts.


The overall theme of this song is about taking risks and not waiting for the perfect moment. Jordan Pruitt encourages her listeners to seize the opportunity while it's there and not let fear hold them back. The fear of being rejected or making mistakes can prevent people from taking a chance on love, but the possibility of missing out on something great is far greater. The lyrics are relatable and heartfelt, capturing the vulnerability and excitement of a blossoming relationship.
