Waiting For You
Scout Paré-Phillips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After day had turned its cheek
The letter that you wrote
Yeah, you left it here to read
Said this love's not just for you
It was also meant for me
Let me give you more to feel
Tell me
What you're made of
My sugar and wine
Down from above
You make me so high
High, high
I'm much too young
But just hold on
I'm such a fool
Seeing it now
Saying it loud
You know it's true
That I'm just a fool for
I'm just a fool for you
Everyday I wake up
And I'm twisted in a dream
In between who I am
And the things I want to be
Then there you are raining down
Like water from a fall
You wash me down, dry me off
You keep pouring out your love
Tell me
What you're made of
My sugar and wine
Down from above
You make me so high
High, high
I'm much too young
But just hold on
I'm such a fool
Seeing it now
Saying it loud
You know it's true
That I'm just a fool for
I'm just a fool for you
I know it's alright my friend
You know it's alright my friend, yeah
I'm much too young
But just hold on
I'm such a fool
Seeing it now
Saying it loud
You know it's true
That I'm just a fool for
I'm just a fool for you
The lyrics of Scout Paré-Phillips's song "Waiting For You" are a series of confessions, as the singer's feelings for their lover are expressed intimately throughout the verses. The song opens with the singer discovering a letter that their partner had written to them, professing their love. The letter serves as a reminder that their love is mutual, and that they are not alone in their adoration. The chorus - "What you're made of / My sugar and wine / Down from above / You make me so high / High, high" suggests that the singer is overwhelmed with love for their partner, and that they feel that their love is otherworldly.
The second verse delves further into the singer's feelings for their partner, describing their presence as that of life-giving water. They describe how their partner "rains down" on them like water from a fall, renewing them and washing away their worries. The chorus is repeated once again, with a brief interlude where the singer affirms that "it's alright" and that they will continue to love their partner through thick and thin.
Overall, "Waiting For You" is a song about the transformative nature of love, and how it can lift us up and make us feel like we are on top of the world. It speaks to the idea that love requires patience and devotion, but that it is ultimately worth the wait.
