Waiting By Your Side
Polaris At Noon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thinking of you on this long drive out
I'm wondering how you still live in doubt
Well I know, I know, I know what it feels like
It's taken some time just to think this through
I'm finally ready to leave here too
Well I know, I know, I know that you never will

Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there, waiting by your side?

There's something about this dark overcast
Reminds me of you, that your love won't last
Well I know, I know, I know that it feels wrong
The sun will shine through and drive clouds away
And soon you will see that I'm right to say
That I know, I know, I know it'll never work

Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there, waiting by your side?

Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there, waiting by your side?

Somewhere in the town you call your home
You will find someone to hold
And somehow I will start to be unknown
You'll forget this one
You'll forget this one

Well did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there, waiting by your side?

Did you think you would find me there?




Did you think you would find me there?
Did you think you would find me there, waiting by your side?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Polaris At Noon's "Waiting By Your Side" reveal a story of a person who has reached a crossroads in their life, where they have to make the decision to leave someone who is unable to commit to a relationship. The lyrics show the struggle of the singer as they drive away and contemplate whether the person they have just left behind will follow them or not. The singer knows their partner's indecisiveness has caused strife and they acknowledge the person's faults. After seemingly leaving the relationship behind for good, the singer surmises that they know things will never work between them because, after all, the person's indecisiveness was the reason they just left them.


The singer makes it clear that they have finally made their decision to break away from the relationship, despite how much they have loved their partner. They know that the sun will soon shine through and carry the clouds away, and as the chorus suggests, they know that their partner can't give them what they are searching for. In the end, they realize that they will be forgotten as their partner finds someone else to hold in the town they called home while they move on with their life.
