Waiting for You
Scott Hoying Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching the time go by
Anyone can see that I've been waiting for the day
When you will look my way
Can you give me a sign?
'Cause I can't read your mind
And time won't tell you how to see
When love is blind
Anticipating what you'll do
Please don't play these games with me
My heart is sensitive you see
And I've been waiting for you
Sick of waiting for bad news
Come on, girl, let's make a move
'Cause I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting patiently
Watching the time go by
I've been wishing to myself
That you'll come knock on my door
It's all I'm asking for
Can you give me a sign?
'Cause I can't read your mind
And time won't tell you how to see
When love is blind
I've been waiting for you
Anticipating what you'll do
Please don't play these games with me
My heart is sensitive you se
And I've been waiting for you
Sick of waiting for bad news
Come on, girl, let's make a move
'Cause I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
If you wait too long
You'll be all alone
You'll be waiting for me
You'll be waiting for me
And when that day comes
I know you will see
I know you will see
Sick of waiting for bad news
Come on, girl, let's make a move
'Cause I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
The song "Waiting for You" talks about a person who has been waiting for the other person to give them a sign that they like them. The lyrics start with the singer saying that they have been patiently waiting and watching the time go by. They want the other person to give them a sign that they are interested, but the singer cannot read their mind. They are tired of waiting and they want to make a move, but they are afraid of getting hurt because their heart is sensitive.
The chorus repeats that the singer has been waiting for the other person and anticipating their move. They do not want the other person to play games with them because they are sensitive. They are sick of waiting for bad news and they want the other person to make a move.
The bridge warns the other person that if they wait too long, they will be all alone and waiting for the singer. When that day comes, the other person will see that they missed their chance with the singer.
Overall, the song is about taking a chance on love and not being afraid to make a move. It is a plea for the other person to take notice and take action.
