Waiting on You

about

This one of the three or four slightly reworked older tracks of mine that will appear on my upcoming album, Looking for the Light, which I hope to release in late 2022. Some of the initial musical and lyrical ideas date back to the late 1990s, but I didn't get around to completing a full demo of the song until 2015.

lyrics

So long I stayed under your spell
One look from you resistance fell
Despite the memories
Fading from my mind
The truth is plain to see
You were never really mine

Right from the start
You stole my heart
You kept me waiting, waiting on you
Losing my mind
Wasting my time
As I kept waiting, waiting on you
You led me on
You played your con
While I was waiting, waiting on you
Now you’re not here
This much is clear
I shouldn’t have waited, waited on you

I still think back to long ago
Why did I stay I just don’t know
Whenever you would call
I’d always run to you
I’d catch you when you’d fall
But you’d let me fall on through

You took my heart
Tore it apart
You kept me waiting, waiting on you
You played it cool
I played the fool
As I kept waiting, waiting on you
You had your way
I had no say
And I was waiting, waiting on you
Now you are gone
And we’ve moved on
Wish I never waited, waited on you

And after so many years
Now and then I still look back
There were times we seemed to be so in sync
How did we end up so off track
The memories fade
But the memory’s all that’s left

Right from the start
You stole my heart
You kept me waiting, waiting on you
Losing my mind
Wasting my time
As I kept waiting, waiting on you
You led me on
You played your con
While I was waiting, waiting on you
Now you’re not here
This much is clear
Wish I never waited, waited on you

You took my heart
Tore it apart
Wish I never waited, waited on you
I lost my mind
Wasted my time
Wish I never waited, waited on you
You played it cool
I played the fool
Wish I never waited, waited on you
Now you are gone
And we’ve moved on
Wish I never waited, waited on you
