Oh oh oh oh
Well, damn I think it's done
Take it back, turn around
I start all over again
He'll start to pack up
"Wait babe, can't we be friends?"
She thinks that if she calls
She can always have him
Call and back again
But darling, this time
We're not picking up the pieces
That will be the end
I've been waiting for you
You say, "please come over"
I know I shouldn't so
I'll wait, wait, think it over
He swears, "darling, it's through"
But looks over his shoulder
Maybe she loves him
So we'll wait, wait, think it over
Think it over
Well, damn I think it's done
Take it back, turn around
I start all over again
I'll make a clean break
And when he starts to miss me
Wake call, "where have you been?"
I know that if I fall
I can always have them crawling back again
But darling, this time
When she picks up the pieces
That will be the end
I've been waiting for you
You say, "please come over"
I know I shouldn't so
I'll wait, wait, think it over
He swears, "darling, it's through"
But looks over his shoulder
Maybe she loves him
So we'll wait, wait, think it over
So the story ends, my dear
Exactly as it starts
You think we can still be friends
After you break my heart
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I've been waiting for you
You say, "please come over"
I know I shouldn't so
I'll wait, wait, think it over
He swears, "darling, it's through"
But looks over his shoulder
Maybe she loves him
So we'll wait, wait, think it over
I've been waiting for you
You say, "please come over"
I know I shouldn't so
I'll wait, wait, think it over
He swears, "darling, it's through"
But looks over his shoulder
Maybe she loves him
So we wait, wait, think it over
I've been waiting for you
(I've been waiting for you)
I've been waiting for you
(I've been waiting for you)
I've been waiting for you
(I've been waiting for you)
Maybe she loves him
So we wait, wait, think it over

"Think It Over" by Wild Child is a song about the complexities of relationships and the struggle to move on from a past love. The song features a back-and-forth dialogue between two lovers who are unsure about whether to stay together or part ways. In the beginning, the female protagonist contemplates taking back her man despite knowing that he's toxic for her. She tries to reason with him in hopes of salvaging the relationship, but ultimately realizes that picking up the pieces one more time will have to be the end of it. The male protagonist, on the other hand, is confident that the relationship is over but still looks back, possibly hoping for a rekindling of love.
The chorus, "I've been waiting for you, you say please come over, I know I shouldn't so I'll wait, wait, think it over," highlights the difficulty in moving on from a relationship, where the heart wants to reconcile despite knowing it's best to let go. The song's lyrics portray an emotional rollercoaster that some people can relate to, struggling to reconcile with the past and the present even though they know it's not healthy.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The song's introduction
Well, damn I think it's done
Realization that the relationship is over
Take it back, turn around
Wishing to undo the breakup
I start all over again
Desires a fresh start with the relationship
He'll start to pack up
The boyfriend initiating the breakup process
And she'll pretend she's sorry
The girlfriend trying to save the relationship
"Wait babe, can't we be friends?"
Last attempt to save the relationship
She thinks that if she calls
Belief that constant communication can fix the relationship
She can always have him
Belief that she has control over the boyfriend
Call and back again
Constant cycle of breaking up and getting back together
But darling, this time
Acceptance that this breakup is for good
We're not picking up the pieces
Not trying to fix the relationship again
That will be the end
The end of the relationship
I've been waiting for you
Still waiting for the other person
You say, "please come over"
The other person wanting to reunite
I know I shouldn't so
Trying to resist temptation
I'll wait, wait, think it over
Taking time to decide what to do
He swears, "darling, it's through"
Boyfriend declaring the relationship is over
But looks over his shoulder
Possibility that the other person still loves him
Maybe she loves him
The possibility of love still being there
So we'll wait, wait, think it over
Taking time to decide what to do
So the story ends, my dear
The conclusion of the story
Exactly as it starts
The story ending as it began
You think we can still be friends
The desire to maintain a friendship after the breakup
After you break my heart
The pain caused by the breakup
I've been waiting for you (I've been waiting for you) I've been waiting for you (I've been waiting for you) I've been waiting for you (I've been waiting for you)
Repetition of the song's hook
Maybe she loves him
The possibility of love still being there
So we wait, wait, think it over
Taking time to decide what to do
I've been waiting for you
Still waiting for the other person
You say, "please come over"
The other person wanting to reunite
I know I shouldn't so
Trying to resist temptation
I'll wait, wait, think it over
Taking time to decide what to do
He swears, "darling, it's through"
Boyfriend declaring the relationship is over
But looks over his shoulder
Possibility that the other person still loves him
Maybe she loves him
The possibility of love still being there
So we wait, wait, think it over
Taking time to decide what to do
(Nailed it!)

Indie stays Indie for the most part. It has bewildering talent, but for whatever reason, whether for better or worse, it shines, flares, and amazes silently. Never attracting very much attention, but those who do hear it, have a wonderful time. I love Wild Child, just found em a month ago, but they're so beautiful.
