May Day
Slingshot Dakota Lyrics

We're waiting
We're in a state of anticipation, looking forward to something to happen

We're waiting for the world to end
We're expecting the world to come to an end, whether it's through a natural disaster or human action

We're waiting for our friends to die
We're preparing ourselves for the eventual death of our friends, which is an inevitability in life

We're living our days with wet eyes
We're constantly in a state of sorrow or melancholy, feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders

We're waiting for ourselves to break
We're patiently waiting for a moment of weakness or vulnerability where we can no longer hold it together

We're waiting for our next mistake
We're expecting ourselves to make mistakes, looking out for them in anticipation

We're living our days half alive
We're going through life feeling unfulfilled or incomplete, lacking genuine happiness or satisfaction

Can you wait for me?
Can you be patient and wait for me to catch up, to be with me through thick and thin

Will you wait for me?
Are you willing to be there for me, even if it means putting your own needs or desires on hold for a while

We're waiting in each other's arms
We're holding onto one another, seeking comfort and solace in each other's presence

Oh god
An expression of angst, desperation, or frustration

I don't know what we're waiting for
I'm not sure what we're expecting or hoping for by being in this state of waiting, it feels aimless or pointless

And all this waiting
The accumulation of all this waiting over time, the weariness and exhaustion it brings

It keeps on weighting down on me
It becomes increasingly heavy and burdensome, emotionally draining and overwhelming

So lets start moving
Let's take action and start doing something, rather than just waiting around for something to happen

So we don't miss out on
To avoid missing out on life, on opportunities, on experiences that can bring joy and fulfillment
