Wait
Knockout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me. I'm playing mind-games with myself and I can't help it. Can't you see frustration's hit me where it counts. I'm so pathetic. You're all I ever wanted and now that I've got it I don't know what to do. I'm going crazy over you. Never thought I'd act like this, never guessed my heart would get this big and mess up everything. Maybe I just care too much, I'll try hard not to overanalyze. Sometimes it hits me by surprise. Crazy over you




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Knockout's song "Wait" paint a picture of a person who is struggling with their emotions towards someone they have deep feelings for. The first line of the song, "Look at me," suggests that the singer is aware of their own internal struggle. They are playing "mind-games" with themselves which has left them frustrated and feeling "pathetic." The lyrics capture the feelings of being overwhelmed by the intensity of one's own emotions.


The second half of the first verse reveals that the object of the singer's affection is the cause of their frustration. The singer has finally attained the affection they have been longing for, but they don't know what to do with it. The singer's confusion and anxiety are palpable in the lyrics as they express feeling "crazy over you." The chorus repeats this sentiment, driving home the idea that the singer is losing control over their emotions towards this person.


The second verse is more introspective, with the singer reflecting on their own behavior. They never thought they would "act like this" and didn't anticipate their "heart would get this big and mess up everything." The lyrics capture the feeling of a person who is aware they are hurting themselves but can't help it. The final lines of the verse suggest that the singer is aware that they need to find a way to control their emotions, but it's not easy. "Maybe I just care too much," they sing, "I'll try not to overanalyze."
