I'm Waiting For The Da
The Beach Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
That's when you needed someone
To help forget about him
I gave you love with a brand new start
That's what you needed the most
To set your broken heart free
But when I could I gave strength to you
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again
I kissed your lips
And when your face looked sad
It made me think about him
And that you still loved him so
But you know that pretty soon
I made you feel glad
That you belonged to me
And love began to show
He hurt you then, but that's all gone
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again
He hurt you then, but that's all done
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again
You didn't think (no), that I could sit around and let him work
You didn't think (no), that I could sit around and watch him take you
You didn't think that I could sit around and watch him go
You didn't think that I could sit back and let you go
You didn't think that I could sit around and let you go
that I could sit here and wait for you, and that's exactly what I'm going to do
The Beach Boys's "I'm Waiting For The Day" is a song about unrequited love and the agony of waiting for someone to love again. The singer in the song is waiting for a girl to get over her past love, and they are trying their best to help her heal. The song talks about the singer's patience and their willingness to wait for the girl even though she still loves her past lover. The lyrics are very emotional and filled with longing, as the singer tries to persuade the girl that they are the one she should love.
The song starts with the singer recalling when he first met the girl when she was heartbroken. The girl needed someone to help forget about her past lover, and the singer gave her the love and comfort she needed to start fresh. Although she was sad and cried, the singer gave her strength and was waiting for the day when she could love again.
The second verse explains how the singer kissed the girl, and it made him think that she still loved her past lover. However, he soon made her feel glad that she belonged to him, and they fell in love. The singer promises that the girl's past lover is gone, and he is waiting for the day when she can love again.

Incredible album, such a new, original sound for the time and what's awesome is that this was practically a solo effort.
Beatles albums all had so many people working on them. This is one guys inspiring musical vision which is what (for me) makes it so special!
Lewis Jones
Every song on this album has MELODY. That's what sets it apart from a lot of today's music.
Nelson Nicholson
A vintage "modern music bad" comment

I gave pet sounds a good listen about 2 days ago and I've come to the full circle that every fucking song is a masterpiece. I love the ending in this one though
