about

“Waiting” really sits in that feeling of being alone that we’ve all experienced. It’s about wanting someone you can’t have and being haunted by their misleading presence. The verses of this song came so easily, as they are fairly observational, but I was stuck on the chorus for months. I kept coming back to it, and finally in the studio I realized what I wanted to say, and it was really cathartic. This song is about coming to a place of bitter-sweet acceptance and moving on.

lyrics

Silence in the other room
Patience is an empty tomb
Waiting, waiting for you

This single pane of the thinnest glass
Rattles as happy people pass
Waiting on nothing too exact

We’re not meant to be
I refuse to see
That you’re chasing me around the room
Maybe we’re something else
So hard to tell
Maybe we’re useless looking to be used
Gotta come to

There’s a voice coming from outside
Should I look or cover up my eyes
Waiting for someone to despise

We’re not meant to be
I refuse to see
That you’re chasing me around the room
Maybe we’re something else
So hard to tell
Maybe we’re useless looking to be used

Gotta come to
Gotta come to
Gotta come to
Gotta come to
Gotta come to
