The Wait
Embracing Patience: Unraveling the Essence of 'The Wait' by Built to Spill
Lyrics
You wait
You are in a state of waiting.
You wait
The theme of waiting persists.
You wait for summer,
Your anticipation is directed towards the arrival of summer.
Then you wait for rain
After summer, the focus shifts to waiting for rain.
You wait
The act of waiting continues.
You wait
Waiting is a recurring element in your life.
You wait for darkness then you wait for day
You wait for darkness, then for the arrival of the day.
Yeah, you wait
The emphasis remains on waiting.
You wait
The cycle of waiting is reiterated.
You wait
Waiting is a constant theme.
And she said patience, patience, darling
A woman advises patience, repeating the word "patience."
Patience, patience, it will come
Reiteration of the message that patience will be rewarded.
You wait
The cycle of waiting persists.
You wait
Waiting continues to be a dominant theme.
You wait for August,
Anticipation is directed towards the arrival of August.
Then you wait for May
Following August, the focus shifts to waiting for May.
You wait
The act of waiting is ongoing.
You wait
Waiting persists as a recurring element.
You wait to get up,
Waiting to get up is part of the cycle.
Then you wait to play
After getting up, waiting to play becomes the next phase.
You wait
Waiting is a continuous aspect of life.
You wait
The theme of waiting is reiterated.
You wait for someone that'll make the waiting worth the wait
You wait for someone who will make the waiting worthwhile.
You wait
The act of waiting is highlighted once again.
You wait
Waiting continues to be a dominant element.
You wait
The theme of waiting is repeated.
And she says patience, patience, darling
A woman repeats the advice to be patient.
Patience, patience, it will come
The reassurance that patience will ultimately be rewarded.
