Waiting for the Phone to Ring
Eternal Anticipation: Unveiling the Emotion Behind 'Waiting for the Phone to Ring'
Lyrics
She sits alone in her home most nights
She spends most nights alone at home.
Reading underneath the cheap string lights, and it's
Engaged in reading under inexpensive string lights.
Last week's news but she's just passing time
Reading last week's news to pass the time.
Waiting for the phone to ring
Anticipating a phone call and waiting for it.
And she
She rarely progresses far in her reading.
Rarely makes it past a paragraph, before she
Interrupts reading to browse old photographs.
Starts to look through her old photographs, and she
Experiences a mix of emotions—crying and laughing.
Kinda cries and she kinda laughs
Still waiting for the phone to ring.
Waiting for the phone to ring
Continues waiting for a call she knows may never come.
And she knows she's the only one
Acknowledges being the only one waiting for this call.
Who's still waiting for a call that'll never come
A call that is unlikely to happen.
But she's got everything she needs
Despite this, she feels she has everything she needs.
Right here waiting for the phone to ring
Content with what she has while waiting for the call.
She dreams of harbors on some distant shore, where
Dreams of distant harbors and ships with more to offer.
Ships come in and leave with something more, but for
Currently navigating her own challenges.
Now she's sailing through her perfect storm
Facing a personal perfect storm while waiting for the call.
Waiting for the phone to ring
Still anticipating the phone to ring amidst challenges.
So she'll
Continues to keep watch on the horizon line.
Keep an eye on the horizon line
Remains hopeful and patient, giving it time.
She's gonna breathe, she's gonna give it time, but there's
Peace of mind found only in waiting for the call.
Only one thing brings her peace of mind
She understands she might be the only one waiting.
And that's waiting for the phone to ring
Despite this, she feels she has everything she needs.
And she knows she's the only one
Reiteration of being the only one waiting for the call.
Who's still waiting for a call that'll never come
Recognition that the awaited call may never come.
But she's got everything she needs
Contentment with her current state while waiting.
Right here waiting for the phone to ring
Acceptance of the situation and finding fulfillment.
She's still waiting
Repetition of her persistent waiting for the call.
She's still waiting
-She's still waiting
-She's still waiting
-She's still waiting
-But she's got everything she needs
-Right here waiting for the phone to ring
Reaffirmation of having everything she needs while waiting.
