Waiting on You
Kingsley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling, don't you go changin'
I'll always be chasin'
But I'm sick of waitin'
Waiting on You

Don't let go
Your hands are so cold
I'll always be chasin'
But I'm sick of waitin'
Waiting on You

Lying on your bedroom floor
Naked, freezing cold
Maybe someday you'll feel like I do
Til then I'll be waiting
Waiting on You

Darling, the candles are burnin'
My heart is burstin', my stomach is turnin'
Waiting on You

Lying on your bedroom floor
Naked, freezing cold
Maybe someday you'll feel like I do




Til then I'll be waiting
Waiting on You

Overall Meaning

In "Waiting on You," Kingsley expresses feelings of frustration and desperation in a tumultuous romantic relationship. The opening line, "Darling, don't you go changin'," indicates that the singer wants their love interest to stay the same, while the rest of the lyrics suggest that their wait for reciprocated feelings is becoming unbearable. They say they'll always be chasing after this person but they're tired of waiting. The repeated refrain of "I'm sick of waiting/Waiting on You" emphasizes the idea that the singer feels like they've been putting in all the effort in this relationship and is growing weary of it.


The line "Don't let go/Your hands are so cold" suggests that the singer is physically close to their love interest, yet there is still a sense of distance and coldness between them. The next line - "Lying on your bedroom floor/Naked, freezing cold" - further emphasizes this feeling of unreciprocated desire and disconnection. The singer hopes that one day their love interest will feel the same way they do and that they won't have to wait anymore. The imagery of burning candles and a bursting heart creates a sense of urgency and vulnerability - the singer is putting themselves out there and waiting for their love interest to respond.
