Last Man Standing
Eternal Love's Patient Wait
Lyrics
They say love is always hiding
Love is often elusive and not easily apparent.
But I found out years ago
The speaker discovered love long ago.
What you want you've gotta find it
To attain what you desire, you must actively seek it.
And once it's found, you will know
Once found, the recognition of love becomes evident.
Oh I can't convince you
The speaker is unable to persuade someone to stay.
To stay by my side
The speaker will miss the person despite the separation.
Oh I'm gonna miss you but
There is a pause or break in the lyrics.
Take your time, learn to fly and feel
Encouragement for the person to take time, learn, and explore.
Every story, every scar
Acknowledging and valuing every experience, positive or negative.
I'll be waiting, I'll be patient 'til
The speaker will wait patiently for the person.
What you're chasing
Waiting for the person to pursue their goals, even if it causes pain.
Breaks your heart
The pursuit may lead to heartbreak.
When you land
Referencing a landing, possibly the end of a journey.
I'll be the last man standing
The speaker commits to being there until the end.
Wanna be the arms you run to
Expressing a desire to be a source of comfort for the person.
When you finally find your way
Being a supportive presence when the person finds their path.
I care more about the years to come
Emphasizing the importance of future years and patience.
So tomorrow's worth the wait
Valuing the anticipation of a better tomorrow.
Don't know where it's going
Uncertainty about the future but confidence in its conclusion.
But I know how it ends
Knowing the outcome even if the journey is unclear.
So until that moment
Waiting until a specific moment or event.
Take your time, learn to fly and feel
Reiterating the advice to take time, learn, and experience.
Every story, every scar
Emphasizing the value of every story and scar.
I'll be waiting, I'll be patient 'til
Continuing the commitment to patient waiting.
What you're chasing
Waiting for the pursuit, even if it results in heartbreak.
Breaks your heart
Reiterating the potential for heartbreak in the pursuit.
When you land
Referencing a landing and the speaker's enduring commitment.
I'll be the last man standing
If you love something enough to let it go
Suggesting the willingness to let go for the sake of love.
Give it time and you will see
Encouraging patience as love finds its way back.
Might be a while but it'll find it's way back home
Assuring that the return may take time but is inevitable.
Just like you'll find your way to me
Comparing the person's return to finding the way back home.
Take your time, learn to fly and feel
Reiteration of advice to take time, learn, and feel.
Every story, every scar
Valuing every experience, including the hardships.
I'll be waiting, I'll be patient 'til
Continuing the commitment to patient waiting.
What you're chasing
Waiting for the pursuit, even if it leads to heartbreak.
Breaks your heart
Reiterating the potential for heartbreak in the pursuit.
When you land
Referencing a landing and the enduring commitment of the speaker.
I'll be the last man standing
