Waiting for Your Love
Lawrence Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What is this madness?
How did it get into me?
I'm feeling sadness
I'm in a deep blue sea
Just treading water
Until you are next to me

What more can I do?
We're both on a different page
My heart is open
And darling that won't change
Your clock is broken
And I've been counting the days

So tired waiting for your love
So tired waiting for your love

The pain is peeling
These robes are starting to fray
You stare at the ceiling
Like its got better things to say
Do you feel deserted?
But I'm not running away

So where is my breakthrough
Where are the steps to your throne[?]
Just let me reach you
I'll pull the sword from the stone
Yeah you got tight skin
But me I'm down to the bone

So tired waiting for your love
So tired waiting for your love
So tired waiting for your love
So tired, so tired, so tired, so tired

Darling, I've got it so bad
You're the killer queen
The toughest I've ever had
So, so bad

The unstageable seam
The unreachable dream

So tired, so tired, so tired
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, baby
But darling
I need you, I need you, I need you
Yeah I do
So tired, so tired




So tired of waiting for your love
So tired of waiting for your love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lawrence Taylor's song Waiting For Your Love express the struggle of unrequited love. The agony of waiting for someone who may never reciprocate their feelings is felt strongly throughout the song. The lyrics use powerful imagery such as 'feeling sadness' and 'in a deep blue sea just treading water' to convey the sense of loneliness and despair one can feel when waiting for love. The singer expresses their vulnerability by saying 'I'm not running away' to show their willingness to wait for the person they love, despite the pain and uncertainty.


The second verse suggests that the singer has been waiting for a long time as 'your clock is broken and I've been counting the days'. They ask 'where is my breakthrough' and 'where are the steps to your throne' indicating the feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward in the relationship. The line 'you got tight skin but me I'm down to the bone' may suggest that the person they love is guarded and unapproachable, while the singer feels completely exposed and vulnerable in comparison.


Overall, Lawrence Taylor's song Waiting For Your Love is a heartfelt expression of the pain and longing that comes with unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the struggle of waiting and hoping for something that may never come to fruition.
