I'm Still Waiting
The Ins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the years to crawl that will take me to another day
I'm waiting to awaken every hidden part of me
Even as I forsake the family
How can I accept the truth I've rejected all my life
Out of the need to survive
And now I am expected to see how I've been infected
I'm waiting for you to call and tell me what you cannot say
This is not your fault, you are not to blame
I'm waiting to resolve the past and deal with who I've become
Drink the bitter gall and let it be done
Once I had to fight the memories of the night
Now I believe
You accuse me with delight but what I've done is only right
I have to let my spirit learn to breathe
But I'm waiting for the moment when this wall will not divide my heart
When I've mended you've relented and we'll no longer have to be apart
I'm waiting for my prayer to catch a star to fall and be your guide
Waiting through this earthly stretch and if you must, upon the Other Side
I'm waiting

I long for the slow passage of time that will lead me to a new beginning
I'm waiting to awaken every hidden part of me
I yearn to discover and embrace every aspect of my true self
Even as I forsake the family
Despite abandoning my own kin
How can I accept the truth I've rejected all my life
In what way can I come to terms with the reality I have denied for so long
Out of the need to survive
Driven by the necessity to stay alive
And now I am expected to see how I've been infected
And now there is an expectation for me to recognize the extent to which I have been influenced
With a shroud of your deviance and lies
Enveloped in your deceitful and immoral behavior
I'm waiting for you to call and tell me what you cannot say
I await your call, in which you can express what you are unable to articulate
This is not your fault, you are not to blame
Do not bear the responsibility for this, do not hold yourself accountable
I'm waiting to resolve the past and deal with who I've become
I am eager to confront and find resolution in my past, and face the person I have transformed into
Drink the bitter gall and let it be done
Consume the unpleasant bitterness and allow the situation to be concluded
Once I had to fight the memories of the night
At one time, I had to battle against the haunting memories of that night
Now I believe
Now, I hold faith
You accuse me with delight but what I've done is only right
You revel in accusing me, but my actions are justified
I have to let my spirit learn to breathe
I must permit my essence to learn how to exist freely
But I'm waiting for the moment when this wall will not divide my heart
Yet, I yearn for the instance in which this barrier will no longer separate my emotions
When I've mended, you've relented and we'll no longer have to be apart
When I have healed, and you have surrendered, we will no longer remain estranged
I'm waiting for my prayer to catch a star to fall and be your guide
I patiently wait for my prayer to reach the heavens, guiding and granting your desires
Waiting through this earthly stretch and if you must, upon the Other Side
Enduring and enduring throughout this earthly existence, and if necessary, beyond in the realm beyond life

Oh, ay, ay
Got myself together
I can"t go on, not now
Not knowing if I'll be here forever
I cry these words unto you, oh
I'm still waiting for somebody
I'm still waiting for that person
I'm still waiting for somebody
Who will be there for me
When I need
Who will be there for me
When I need
Don't shy away from me girl
You know I'll never leave you again
Through thick and thin until the end
I'll be here for the rest of your life
I'm still waiting for somebody
I'm still waiting for that person
I'm still waiting for somebody
Who will be there for me
When I need
Who will be there for me
When I need
Listen, seems like this problems
Gotten out of hand
I can't make the same mistake twice
I've got control of my life, yes I do
And there's no way, there's no way
I'm ever gonna lose you
I'm still waiting,
Oh, I'm still waiting, yeah
I'm gonna wait for the rest of my life
My, my. my my, my, my, my

Who will be there for me when I need
Who, who will be there

And baby__

I don't care how long it might take
(I long to welcome your world)
I know I will stay right here
(I'll show you all that I've got)
On my bended knees if I have to baby
(So baby won't you be mine)
'Cause I got to, I just got to
I got to, I've got to have you baby
Yeah, no. no, no, no
Who will be there for me
When I need
Oh, ay
