Waiting
Kian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I take it back
To the day we met?
When I stuttered all my words
And I know that made you laugh
And the way you flicked your hair
And I saw that smile you had
Yeah, I know there's somethin', there's somethin', oh
There's somethin' 'bout you
You been been gone a while
I'm like, "Where you been?"
Just split with another man
Isn't that, like, number ten?
You say you feelin' alone
And now you need a friend
And oh, there's somethin', there's somethin' oh

There's somethin' 'bout you
You
There's somethin' 'bout you, there's somethin' 'bout
There's somethin' 'bout you

If you got a moment to spare I got something to say
(I'm waitin', I'm waitin')
I'm usually impatient, but girl, I'd be happy to wait
(I'm waitin', I'm waitin')
I'm losing sleep over dreamin' of you
'Cause if ain't me, then who?
If you feel the same (I'm waitin')
Hope you feel the same (I'm waitin')
If you feel the same
Hope you feel the same

I walk away
She slams the door
I should've let you know
I should've told you more
Put my heart on my sleeve
But don't know where it's gone
There's somethin' missin', there's somethin', oh
There's somethin' 'bout you
She say she been thinkin'
I say, "Thinkin' about?"
But in my mind, I kinda already figured it out
You say you feelin' somethin'
I said, "I feel it, too"
It's like there's somethin', there's somethin', oh

There's somethin' 'bout you
You
There's somethin' 'bout you, there's somethin' 'bout
There's somethin' 'bout you

If you got a moment to spare, I've got something to say
(I'm waitin', I'm waitin')
I'm usually impatient, but girl, I'd be happy to wait
(I'm waitin', I'm waitin')
I'm losing sleep over dreamin' of you
'Cause if ain't me, then who?
If you feel the same (I'm waitin')
Hope you feel the same (I'm waitin')
If you feel the same

Waitin' for you (I'm waitin')
Always patient for you (I'm waitin')
Yes I am (I'm waitin')
Hope you feel the same
Waitin' for you (I'm waitin')
Always patient for you (I'm waitin')
Yes I am (I'm waitin')

If you got a moment to spare (I'm waitin')
I've got something to say (I'm waitin')
(I'm waitin')
I'm usually impatient (I'm waitin')
But girl, I'd be happy to wait (I'm waitin')
(I'm waitin')
I'm losing sleep (I'm waitin')
Over dreamin' of you (I'm waitin')
'Cause if ain't me (I'm waitin')
Then who?
If you feel the same (I'm waitin', I'm waitin')
Hope you feel the same (I'm waitin')




If you feel the same
I'm happy to wait for you, girl, yes, I am oh, oh, oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Waiting" by Kian is about waiting for someone who has left but who you still love, and the hope of rekindling what was lost. The lyrics express the desire to go back to the beginning of the relationship, where everything seemed perfect, and the hope of recapturing the magic. The opening lines, "Can I take it back to the day we met? When I stuttered all my words and I know that made you laugh," are a nostalgic reference to a happier time, and the singer's desire to return to that time. The singer is willing to wait for the person to come back to him and hopes that the person feels the same way. The lyrics declare, "I'm losing sleep over dreamin' of you, 'Cause if ain't me, then who? If you feel the same, Hope you feel the same".


The chorus repeatedly emphasizes "There's somethin' 'bout you" which means there is something special or magical about the person that makes him want to wait and hope for reconciliation. The lines, "She say she been thinkin', I say, 'Thinkin' about'? But in my mind I kinda already figured it out," indicate that the singer already knows what the other person is thinking and has made peace with it. He implies that he knows that she is thinking about reconciliation as well, and he is willing to wait for that.


All in all, "Waiting" is a love song about hoping for and waiting for a second chance with someone who has left, but you still love. It's a beautiful track with a dreamy melody that captures the sadness and longing of unrequited love.
