Terminal
Serendipitous Encounters: A Tale of Patience and Destiny
Lyrics
She just wasn't ready for a long day
Feeling unprepared for a long and challenging day ahead
Thought that she was waiting at the wrong gate
Believing she was in the wrong place or situation
Tired of the lines, looking at the time
Being exhausted from waiting in lines and checking the time frequently
Took her bags and got onto the wrong plane
Accidentally boarding the incorrect plane with her luggage
Found herself in a city far away
Ending up in a distant city due to the mistake
Wondering why she met another delay
Questioning why she encountered another obstacle or delay
Nothing's going right, feels like wasted time
Feeling like everything is going wrong, perceiving it as wasted time
What would life be like if she had just stayed
Contemplating how life might have been different if she stayed
So don't ask me what I'm waiting for
Asking not to inquire about what she's anticipating or waiting for
Just know I don't mind waiting more
Content with waiting, implying patience
If he'll be everything I'm praying for
Hopeful that the person she's waiting for will fulfill her prayers
Everything and more, everything and more
Desiring everything she hopes for and more in this person
It's all or nothing
Indicating a choice between two extremes, no middle ground
He sat at the terminal for some time
Depicting a man spending time at the terminal
Watching all the passing people rush by
Observing hurried people passing by
Wondering when
Questioning when his layover will conclude
His layover would end
Listening attentively for his boarding announcement
Listening for when it would be his time
Finally hearing his name to board the flight
Finally he heard his name to board the flight
Finding his seat and experiencing a surprise
Found his seat and found himself a surprise
Referring to a significant moment of eye contact between two individuals
She looked up at him
Realizing instantly that this encounter was what he had been waiting for in his entire life
He knew right there and then
Similar to line 9, emphasizing not to inquire about what he's anticipating or waiting for
This is what the wait was for his whole life
Comfortable with waiting, as long as the awaited person meets his expectations
So don't ask me what I'm waiting for
Similar to lines 9 and 22, suggesting not to ask about what he's waiting for
Just know I don't mind waiting more
Content with waiting, implying patience once again
If he'll be everything I'm praying for
Hopeful that the person he's waiting for will fulfill his prayers
Everything and more, everything and more
Desiring everything he hopes for and more in this person
It's all or nothing
Reiterating the idea of a choice between two extremes, no middle ground
And I don't really care how long it takes
Expressing indifference towards the length of time, as long as the outcome is right
As long as it's right
Emphasizing the importance of correctness over time in the pursuit of the right person
The rest of my life is worth these days
Implying that the waiting period is worthwhile for the rest of his life
I know I'll be fine
Expressing confidence that everything will eventually work out
Ooo ooo ooo
Melodic expression or vocalization without explicit meaning
Whatever God has
Accepting whatever fate or plan God has for him
Whatever God's plan
Believing that everything orchestrated by God is intended for his benefit
It's all for my good
Confirming that all situations, even waiting, are for his ultimate good
For my good
Reiterating that everything, including waiting, is for his own benefit
So don't ask me what I'm waiting for
Similar to lines 9, 22, and 24, asking not to inquire about what he's anticipating or waiting for
Just know I don't mind waiting more
Content with waiting, implying patience once again
If he'll be everything I'm praying for
Hopeful that the person he's waiting for will fulfill his prayers
Everything and more, everything and more
Desiring everything he hopes for and more in this person
It's all or nothing
Reiterating the idea of a choice between two extremes, no middle ground
