For A While
The Band CAMINO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of touch and out of line
The girl you never find
She's so damn honest
And she wont stick around for sure
The guy that she'll ignore
She's too damn honest

It's ok, its alright, I dont mind wasting time i'll be fine
Hide my heart, how I feel, pretend this is real for a while

Seasons change but people dont
Oh and I know you wont
But at least you're honest
At least you're honest

It's ok, it's alright, I dont mind wasting time i'll be fine
Hide my heart, how I feel, pretend this is real for as while
It's ok, it's alright, I dont mind wasting time i'll be fine
Wear my heart on my sleeve make it harder to breathe for a while

It's ok, it's alright, I dont mind wasting time i'll be fine
Wear my heart on my sleeve make it harder to breathe for a while
It's ok its alright i dont mind wasting time ill be fine
Hide my heart, how I feel, pretend this is real for a while





It's ok, it's alright, I dont mind wasting time i'll be fine
Wear my heart on my sleeve make it harder to breathe for a while

Overall Meaning

The Band CAMINO's song For a While describes a situation where the singer is infatuated with a girl who is brutally honest and does not reciprocate his feelings. He is aware that he is wasting his time, but he continues to stay with her for a while, pretending that their relationship is real. The girl's honesty gives him some solace because at least he knows where he stands with her. He wears his heart on his sleeve, makes it harder for himself, but he chooses to go through the pain for a while.


The lyrics describe an emotionally tumultuous situation. The singer is romantically involved with someone who does not share his feelings. However, he chooses to remain by her side for as long as he can because he values the time spent with her. He is willing to put his heart on the line and pretend things are real because that's what keeps him going. The line "Seasons change, but people don't" conveys that he is probably hoping that the girl will either reciprocate his feelings or change her mind, but deep down he knows that's unlikely to happen.


Overall, the song portrays the complexities of human emotions, the choices we make, and the consequences they have in our lives. It shows how we often choose to deceive ourselves, sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly, just to keep us going, even if it means experiencing pain.

Out of touch and out of line
Feeling disconnected and off track


The girl you never find
Someone elusive and hard to catch


She's so damn honest
Very truthful and straightforward


And she wont stick around for sure
She's not going to stay for long


The guy that she'll ignore
The person who will be overlooked


She's too damn honest
Her honesty is too much to handle


It's ok, its alright, I dont mind wasting time i'll be fine
It's fine to spend time regardless of the outcome


Hide my heart, how I feel, pretend this is real for a while
Conceal emotions and pretend for a temporary period


Seasons change but people dont
Things outside change, but some people are a constant


Oh and I know you wont
They will remain unchanged


But at least you're honest
At least they are truthful


Wear my heart on my sleeve make it harder to breathe for a while
Being open makes it difficult to cope

Lyric correction:
"two steps forward, one step back and
it wont be long til my heart attack, yup!
and common sense falls second place
to the way it feels when you kiss my face, yup!"

change to:

"two steps forward, one step back
