Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey I'm waiting for you
All my life I've been waiting for you
When will you come through
Give me a call I won't be so blue
Hey I'm waiting for you
All my life I've been waiting for you
All my life I've been waiting for you
When will you come through

When will you come through

And the flowers fall out of my hair
The body's aching 'cause you're not there
And the tears roll down my face

Hey I'm waiting for you
All my life I've been waiting for you
When will you come through
When will you come through
Hey I'm waiting for you
All my life I've been waiting for you
All my life I've been waiting for you
All my life I've been waiting for you

And the flowers fall out of my hair
The body's aching 'cause you're not there
And the tears roll down my face

You gotta get back to me now
It's been too long without your love

You gotta get back to me now
I can't breathe without your love
