Waiting For
Poor Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something here is going on
Something strange
Something wrong
Talk it out
Let's take it on
Tell me now
Tell it all
Once you finish
Tell me more
Tell me what we're waiting for

What we're waiting for
Tell me what we're waiting for
Tell me
What we're waiting for

Secret words you're hanging on
Say it now
Tell them all
Throw the lights
Make the call
Show me where
I belong
Could it be there's something more
Something else you're waiting for?

What we're waiting for
Tell me what we're waiting for
Tell me what we're waiting for





You're so withdrawn
Far away and gone
