Keep Me Waiting
Longing and Lost Conversations: "Keep Me Waiting" by Adelitas Way
Lyrics
There's the road, you should go
Encouraging someone to take a particular path or decision.
Cause every time we talk we fight
Expressing frequent conflicts during conversations.
And you don't have to let me know this show
Suggesting that the other person doesn't need to inform about ending the relationship; it's evident from their actions.
Everything you say sets in slow, again
Words spoken have a lingering effect and create a slow impact.
Just got done wondering now I know you're gone
Realizing that the person has left after a period of uncertainty.
It's gone away
Acknowledging the departure or loss.
How could you keep me still here waiting?
Questioning why the speaker is being kept waiting.
And I feel when I try
Expressing emotional struggle and effort.
And you'll tell me they'll be no sunshine
Anticipating a negative outcome, perhaps the absence of happiness.
How could we have this conversation?
Questioning the effectiveness of communication in the relationship.
And I feel when I walk
Experiencing emotions while walking, possibly reflecting on the relationship.
A thousand miles for you is too long
Expressing that going to great lengths for someone is too difficult.
There's a rose, you should know
Referring to a symbol of love and hinting at the end of a romantic connection.
Seven little cross we tried
Describing failed attempts symbolized by seven crosses.
You don't have to send me off, I'll go
Stating that there's no need for a formal goodbye; the speaker will leave.
Every single day was..know
Reflecting on past days filled with uncertainty.
A man has got me wondering why I lost you again
Wondering about the reasons for losing the person again.
It's gone away
Acknowledging the departure or loss (repeated).
How could you keep me still here waiting?
Reiterating the question about being kept waiting.
And I feel when I try
Expressing the emotional struggle during efforts (repeated).
And you'll tell me they'll be no sunshine
Anticipating a lack of positivity or brightness.
How could we have this conversation?
Questioning the effectiveness of a conversation (repeated).
And I feel when I walk
Experiencing emotions while walking (repeated).
A thousand miles for you is too long
Reiterating the difficulty of going great distances for someone.
Is too long
Emphasizing the prolonged and challenging nature of the situation.
Is too long
Repeating the idea that the distance is too long.
Is too long
-Down that road, down that road
Referring to a path or journey, emphasizing movement.
I see your conscious swaying
Observing the other person's inner conflict or hesitation.
I see it in your eyes
Noticing emotional turmoil through the person's eyes.
I feel like its the first time that I'm ripped up inside and the other one's trying
Feeling emotionally torn, with the other person seemingly divided in their feelings.
I see you constantly with him, I feel it in your bone
Perceiving a constant connection between the person and someone else.
I feel that I guess the first time
Experiencing a similar emotional impact as if it were the first time.
And the other one's trying
Acknowledging ongoing emotional struggles or efforts (repeated).
