I Could Wait
MU330 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could wait and you could get your head together.
We all could wait some,
I could watch you crawl out of the gutter.
Tongue tied, last night,
More lies, and another fight.
Tongue tied, last night,
You could taste some,
You could take a taste and kill another bottle.
You could taste some,
We could watch you plummet right back to the bottom.
Tongue tied, last night,
More lies, and another fight.
Tongue tied, last night,
More lies, and another fight.
Well, You took my bait,
Now you'll have to wait some.
Well, I could wait some.
Well, I could wait some.
Well, I could wait
indefinitely.
The lyrics to MU330's song "I Could Wait" are open to interpretation, but at its core, the song seems to be about a person who is struggling with addiction, and how their loved ones are willing to wait for them to recover and get their life back on track. The first verse sets the tone, with the singer stating that they could wait for the person to get their head together and emerge from a difficult period ("I could watch you crawl out of the gutter"). The second verse takes a more critical tone, with the singer noting that the person in question is drinking too much and risking falling back to their lowest point ("We could watch you plummet right back to the bottom").
The chorus repeats the phrase "Tongue tied, last night / More lies, and another fight" twice, emphasizing the difficulties and pain that both parties are experiencing. But the final verse provides a glimmer of hope - the singer has given the person in question a chance ("You took my bait"), but the ultimatum is clear ("Now you'll have to wait some"). The song ends with the singer reiterating that they could wait indefinitely, emphasizing their commitment to seeing the person through this difficult time.
Overall, "I Could Wait" is a fairly simple song, musically and lyrically, but its message is deep and powerful. It speaks to the struggles that countless people face with addiction, and the importance of patience, understanding, and support from loved ones when trying to overcome those struggles.
